Abstract
⺠We studied the ECM of PNs in the MNTB of the auditory system in detail. ⺠Every MNTB neuron is surrounded by a remarkably prominent PN. ⺠We discovered a new distinct structural phenotype of PNs in MNTB. ⺠The Proteoglycans aggrecan and brevican show unique/differing spatial positions. ⺠Our data support the hypothesis that PNs affect physiological functions of neurons.
