متن کاملCell adhesion and synapse formation
Although numerous molecules have been associated with synaptic cell adhesion, there has been little conclusive evidence linking them to specific effects on synapse formation and function. By searching vertebrate sequence databanks, a novel homophilic synaptic cell adhesion molecule called SynCAM has been found which is homologous to members of the immunoglobulin-like (Ig) superfamily and in vit...
متن کاملLigand-Induced Cell Adhesion in Synapse Formation
Construction of the neural netwoks depends largely on precise contacts between neurons and non-neuronal cells. Numerous studies have described different types of adhesive interactions between cells in the nervous system. These include adhesive contacts between neural cell bodies, axonal attachments to glial cells, axon fasciculation, connection between preand postsynaptic specializations as wel...
متن کاملAdhesion Molecules at the Synapse
Communication between neurons is mediated mainly by chemical synapses, at which neurotransmitters are released by the presynaptic neuron, diffuse across the narrow cleft, and activate receptors located on postsynaptic neurons. Synapses provide the structural and functional basis for the formation and maintenance of the complex neural networks that exist in the brain. This process is governed by...
متن کاملInvestigating the Roles of Cell Adhesion Molecules in Synapse Formation and Function
iii Recent findings have revealed a crucial contribution of the adhesion molecule neuroligin-1 to the precise organization and regulation of intercellular synaptic connections within the central nervous system, and disruption of neuroligin-1 signaling in vivo fosters cognitive abnormalities. Despite considerable recent progress, several uncertainties remain regarding the exact synaptic function...
