The birth of the synapse

Brain Structure and Function, 2017
It has long been held that the rise of neurons as a specialized cell type also marked the onset of the grand evolutionary journey for chemical synapses. Research over recent decades has shown, however, that the most dynamic chapters of synaptic history have been 'written' out of the context of neurobiology and neuronal evolution, dating back to the ...

microRNAs at the synapse

Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2009
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as key modulators of post-transcriptional gene regulation in a plethora of tissues, including the nervous system. Recent evidence points to a widespread role for neural miRNAs at various stages of synaptic development, including dendritogenesis, synapse formation and synapse maturation.

Synapse elimination, the size principle, and Hebbian synapses

Journal of Neurobiology, 1995
AbstractSynapse elimination at the vertebrate neuromuscular junction reduces a polyinnervated population of muscle fibers to a monoinnervated state. The function of this developmental phenomenon (if any) is unproven. A theoretical analysis of Hebbian (correlation) rules connecting presynaptic and postsynaptic activity and synaptic strength at the ...
