Abstract excerpt
Adhesive contact between pre- and postsynaptic neurons initiates synapse formation during brain development and provides a natural means of transsynaptic signaling.

However, once established, the mechanisms of adhesive disassembly and its function in regulating synaptic transmission have been unclear. Here, we...
