Neurexins and neuroligins: recent insights from invertebrates.

Molecular neurobiology - 1 Dec 2011

Knight David, Xie Wei, Boulianne Gabrielle L

Abstract excerpt

During brain development, each neuron must find and synapse with the correct pre- and postsynaptic partners. The complexity of these connections and the relatively large distances some neurons must send their axons to find the correct partners makes studying brain development one of the most challenging, and yet fascinating disciplines in biology. Furthermore, once the initial connections have been made, the...
