Lectican proteoglycans, their cleaving metalloproteinases, and plasticity in the central nervous system extracellular microenvironment

Highlights ► Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans in the brain matrix regulate neural plasticity. ► Extracellular metalloproteinases alter structural and synaptic plasticity. ► These changes may be due to substrate cleavage or perhaps direct action on cells.
