Just over one hundred years ago, Camillo Golgi, the famous Italian neuroanatomist, identified a "net-like" structure surrounding a class of cerebral interneurons. The function of these "perineuronal nets", long a mystery, is beginning to be better understood, in particular their role in regulating the plasticity of the cerebral cortex. Speakers at this scientific meeting, which will be held in English, will review a question at the heart of physiological approaches to cognition.
