Perineuronal nets (PNNs), which are condensed glycosaminoglycan-rich extracellular matrix structures, surround cell bodies, proximal dendrites, and axon initial segments of neurons in the central nervous system. Digestion of PNNs demonstrated that PNNs facilitate plasticity and encode new information by attenuating forgetting or learning information easily. PNNs morphologically restrict producing new synapses and pruning old synapses and contribute to regulating neural plasticity in brain areas, including the visual cortex and the amygdala. By contrast, whether PNNs in the deep cerebellar nuclei (DCN) contribute to the regulation of motor coordination remains poorly understood. This chapter focuses on recent evidence on the physiological roles of PNNs, which enwrap synapses between Purkinje cells and large DCN neurons, in dynamic regulation of GABAergic transmission, and in modification of cerebellar motor learning, particularly especially delay eyeblink conditioning, proposing that PNNs in the DCN restrict synaptic plasticity associated with motor learning in adult animals.
