The specificity of synapses in the mammalian brain cannot possibly be accounted for by one-
to-one biochemical matching. The alternative proposed in this article is that connections are …

How do minds emerge from developing brains? According to “neural constructivism,” the
representational features of cortex are built from the dynamic interaction between neural …

Skeletal Muscle: Form and Function, Second Edition, provides readers with a detailed
understanding of the different facets of muscle physiology. Meticulously researched and …

Elimination of Synapses in the Developing Nervous System Page 1 terranean countries (20).
Any occurrence of blue mold is reported to CORESTA headquarters in Paris, which informs the …

The patterning of skeletal muscle is thought to depend upon signals provided by motor
neurons. We show that AChR gene expression and AChR clusters are concentrated in the …

Anatomical rearrangement of retinogeniculate connections contributes to the refinement of
synaptic circuits in the developing visual system, but the underlying changes in synaptic …

Voluntary movement requires communication from cortex to the spinal cord, where a
dedicated pool of motor units (MUs) activates each muscle. The canonical description of MU …

The major goal of developmental neurobiology is to understand how the nervous system is
put together. A central theme that has emerged from research in this field over the last …

Autoradiographic evidence from juvenile rhesus monkeys that had been exposed to a pulse
of [1* 3H] thymidine at different embryonic (E) and early postnatal (P) days indicates that all …

This article reviews studies of the formation of synaptic junctions in the vertebrate central
nervous system. It is focused on electron microscopic investigations of synaptogenesis …
