Synapse development in health and disease.

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Jun 2011

Melom Jan Elizabeth, Littleton J Troy

Abstract excerpt

Recent insights into the genetic basis of neurological disease have led to the hypothesis that molecular pathways involved in synaptic growth, development, and stability are perturbed in a variety of mental disorders. Formation of a functional synapse is a complex process requiring stabilization of initial synaptic contacts by adhesive protein interactions, organization of presynaptic and postsynaptic...
