Perineuronal nets decrease membrane capacitance of peritumoral fast spiking interneurons in a model of epilepsy

Brain tumours are associated with epilepsy. Here the authors show, using a mouse model, that the degradation of perineuronal nets around fast spiking interneurons near the tumour contribute to seizures by increasing their membrane capacitance and firing.
