Abstract excerpt

The assembly of functional neuronal circuits requires growth cones to extend in defined directions and recognize the correct synaptic partners. Homophilic adhesion between vertebrate Sidekick proteins promotes synapse formation between retinal neurons involved in visual motion detection. We show here that Drosophila Sidekick accumulates in specific synaptic layers of the developing motion detection circuit and is...
