As our previous study has indicated, perineuronal proteoglycans in the adult mouse brain are associated with some collagenous molecules which can be stained with Gömöri's ammoniacal silver and are resistant to hyaluronidase digestion. The present study demonstrated that these molecules are thoroughly digested with collagenase, and suggests that they represent a hyaluronic acid-binding domain of the ligand proteoglycans connecting the perineuronal proteoglycans and nerve cell surface glycoproteins.

D012012 Red Nucleus A pinkish-yellow portion of the midbrain situated in the rostral mesencephalic tegmentum. It receives a large projection from the contralateral half of the CEREBELLUM via the superior cerebellar peduncle and a projection from the ipsilateral MOTOR CORTEX. Nucleus Ruber,Nucleus, Red
D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D002540 Cerebral Cortex The thin layer of GRAY MATTER on the surface of the CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES that develops from the TELENCEPHALON and folds into gyri and sulci. It reaches its highest development in humans and is responsible for intellectual faculties and higher mental functions.
