The formation of synapses in the vertebrate central nervous system is a complex process
that occurs over a protracted period of development. Recent work has begun to unravel the …

The mammalian central nervous system (CNS) requires the proper formation of exquisitely
precise circuits to function correctly. These neuronal circuits are assembled during …

scribí la primera edición de Fisiología de la Conducta hace más de un cuarto de siglo.
Cuando lo hice no podía imaginarme que algún día estaría escribiendo la octava edición …

Formation of synapses requires specific cellular interactions that organize pre-and
postsynaptic compartments. The neuroligin-neurexin complex mediates heterophilic …

The heparan sulphate proteoglycan agrin is expressed as several isoforms in various
tissues. Agrin is best known as a crucial organizer of postsynaptic differentiation at the …

Gradients of axon guidance molecules have long been postulated to control the
development of the organization of neural connections into topographic maps. We review …

Formation, differentiation and plasticity of synapses, the specialized cell–cell contacts
through which neurons communicate, all require interactions between pre-and post-synaptic …

A large body of evidence shows that molecular cues promote specific synapse formation by
guiding axons and by mediating their association with targets, but much less is known about …

During nervous system development, neurons form reproducible synapses onto specific
targets. Here, we analyze the development of stereotyped synapses of the C. elegans HSNL …

Our understanding of how mammalian sensory circuits are organized and develop has long
been hindered by the lack of genetic markers of neurons with discrete functions. Here, we …
