Brain Extracellular Matrix: Not Just Fluffy Filler

Neurons and glia don’t just float in empty space; like all other organs, the brain contains a complex meshwork of sugars and proteins known as the extracellular matrix (ECM). Understanding how brain ECM contributes to neural functioning, disease states and animal behaviours is a growing field of research, and one that holds a great deal of therapeutic potential. This talk will briefly cover the history of brain ECM work, explain how brain ECM can contribute to cognitive and anxiety-like behaviours, and give insight into this relatively understudied but important biological substrate.
