Synapse Remodeling, Compliments of the Complement System
A growing body of evidence indicates that some proteins known for their immune functions also have distinct nonimmune functions in the normal uninjured central nervous system. In this issue, Stevens et al. (2007) demonstrate an unexpected requirement for molecules of the complement cascade in the remodeling of synaptic connections in the developing visual system.

15 صفحه اولDevelopmental Remodeling of the Retinogeniculate Synapse
Anatomical rearrangement of retinogeniculate connections contributes to the refinement of synaptic circuits in the developing visual system, but the underlying changes in synaptic function are unclear. Here, we study such changes in mouse brain slices. Each geniculate cell receives a surprisingly large number of retinal inputs (>20) well after eye-specific zones are formed. All but one to three...
متن کاملFluorescence imaging of synapse formation and remodeling.
Brain function is based on proper connectivity between neuronal cells. In the developing brain, neurons extend axons and form synaptic connections with appropriate postsynaptic neurons. Molecular mechanisms underlying establishment of proper synaptic connections are one of the most important topics in the field of developmental neurobiology. Dynamics of synaptic structure and local recruitment ...
متن کاملStructural Remodeling of the Synapse in Response to Physiological Activity
Synaptic actin has now been shown to change shape in response to stimulation. The cytoskeleton may therefore be pivotal in integrating molecular and morphological changes associated with synaptic plasticity and coordinating such changes across pre- and postsynaptic compartments.
