Chronic changes in activity can induce neurons to alter the strength of all their synapses in
unison. Although the specific changes that occur appear to vary depending on the …

▪ Abstract Immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) proteins are implicated in diverse steps of
brain development, including neuronal migration, axon pathfinding, target recognition and …

In hippocampal neurons and transfected CHO cells, neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM)
120, NCAM140, and NCAM180 form Triton X-100–insoluble complexes with βI spectrin …

The transmembrane and multidomain neural adhesion molecule L1 plays important
functional roles in the developing and adult nervous system. L1 is proteolytically processed …

L1, a neural cell adhesion molecule of the immunoglobulin superfamily, is involved in
neuronal migration and differentiation and axon outgrowth and guidance. Mutations in the …

Tenascin-N, a novel member of the tenascin family, was identified and shown to encode
characteristic structural motifs of a cysteine-rich stretch, 3.5 epidermal growth factor-like …

Activity-dependent changes in expression and localization of the largest major isoform of the
neural cell adhesion molecule NCAM180 and three subtypes of glutamate receptors …

Non-viral gene transfer into neurons has proved to be a formidable task. Here, we describe
an electroporation-based method that allows efficient and reliable DNA transfer into …

A growing number of candidate genes has been implicated in linking the two sides of a
synapse but definitive proof of a specific role for many of them is still scarce. Exploiting the …
