Synaptic adhesion molecules and excitatory synaptic transmission
Synaptic adhesion molecules have been extensively studied for their contribution to the regulation of synapse development through trans-synaptic adhesions. However, accumulating evidence increasingly indicates that synaptic adhesion molecules are also involved in the regulation of excitatory synaptic transmission and plasticity, often through direct or close associations with excitatory neurotr...
متن کاملSynaptic adhesion molecules
Synopsis The chemical synapse is a specialized asymmetric adhesion site between the axon of a neuron and its target cell. Synapse formation is a multi-step process involving target recognition followed by reciprocal inductive interactions that result in recruitment of proteins, such as receptors, and organelles, such as synaptic vesicles, to both the presynaptic and postsynaptic compartments. S...
متن کاملSynaptic Transmission: Excitatory Autapses Find a Function?
An autapse is a synapse between a neuron and itself, a peculiar structure with an unclear function. A new study suggests that excitatory autapses contribute to a positive-feedback loop that maintains persistent electrical activity in neurons.

متن کاملSALM Synaptic Cell Adhesion-like Molecules Regulate the Differentiation of Excitatory Synapses
Synaptic cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are known to play key roles in various aspects of synaptic structures and functions, including early differentiation, maintenance, and plasticity. We herein report the identification of a family of cell adhesion-like molecules termed SALM that interacts with the abundant postsynaptic density (PSD) protein PSD-95. SALM2, a SALM isoform, distributes to exci...
