The extracellular matrix regulates cortical layer dynamics and cross-columnar frequency integration in the auditory cortex
El-Tabbal et al removed the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the primary auditory cortex of Mongolian gerbils and assessed both spontaneous and elicited neural activity. They show that ECM degradation alters translaminar cortical network dynamics and they consider its role in neural plasticity.
