| summary | The nervous system consists of billions of neurons that are precisely connected through synapses. Unraveling how neurons form appropriate synaptic connections during development is a key challenge in neuroscience and is essential to understand brain function and disease. Neural circuit formation critically relies on cell-cell recognition and communication mediated by cell-surface ligands and receptors. The complexity of the cell-surface interactions that pattern precise synaptic connectivity is only beginning to emerge. In this seminar, I will focus on synaptic adhesion molecules and discuss novel findings on the role of these proteins in organizing connectivity, structure and function of the synaptic network. |
