Molecular mechanisms of synaptogenesis
Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2022 Synapses are the basic units for information processing and storage in the nervous system. It is only when the synaptic connection is established, that it becomes meaningful to discuss the structure and function of a circuit.

A splice isoform of DNedd4, DNedd4-long, negatively regulates neuromuscular synaptogenesis and viability in Drosophila. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Neuromuscular (NM) synaptogenesis is a tightly regulated process. We previously showed that in flies, Drosophila Nedd4 (dNedd4/dNedd4S) is required for proper NM synaptogenesis by promoting endocytosis of commissureless from the muscle surface, a pre ...

Training-induced circuit-specific excitatory synaptogenesis in mice is required for effort control
Nature Communications, 2023 Synaptogenesis is essential for circuit development; however, it is unknown whether it is critical for the establishment and performance of goal-directed voluntary behaviors.

Developmental Neurotoxicity of Alcohol from Neuronal Basis to Behavioural Outcomes: A Comprehensive Review [PDF]
Neurology InternationalPrenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) is recognized as a major public health concern due to its profound and lasting effects on the central nervous system (CNS) and its ability to induce fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD), which encompass a wide range of ...

Arhgef5 Binds α-Dystrobrevin 1 and Regulates Neuromuscular Junction Integrity
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2020 The neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) connect muscle fibers with motor neurons and enable the coordinated contraction of skeletal muscles. The dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex (DGC) is an essential component of the postsynaptic machinery of the ...

Functional Network Profiles in ARSACS Disclosed by Aptamer-Based Proteomic Technology
Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 Although the genetic basis of autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS) has been uncovered, our poor understanding of disease mechanisms requires new light on functional pathways and modifying factors to improve early diagnostic ...
