Abstract excerpt

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are enzymes involved in degradation of proteins in the extracellular matrix and have been shown to contribute to neuroinflammation by several mechanisms such as blood-brain barrier breakdown. Among the MMPs, MMP-9 (gelatinase B) has been suggested to be of relevance also for synaptic and behavioural plasticity. In order to explore the role of MMP-9 for mental functions a...
