Current Biology, 2014 SummarySynapses are specialized asymmetric cell–cell connections permitting the controlled transfer of an electrical or chemical signal between a presynaptic neuronal cell and a postsynaptic target cell (e.g. neuron or muscle).

Nerve, Muscle, and Synaptogenesis [PDF]
Cells, 2019 The vertebrate skeletal neuromuscular junction (NMJ) has long served as a model system for studying synapse structure, function, and development. Over the last several decades, a neuron-specific isoform of agrin, a heparan sulfate proteoglycan, has been ...

Synaptogenesis in hippocampal cultures
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences CMLS, 1999 Hippocampal cultures offer unique advantages for the study of neuronal development and synaptogenesis. Studies performed on this model enabled dissection of the temporal sequence of events which lead to the differentiation of pre- and postsynaptic ...

Astrocyte-Neuron Signaling in Synaptogenesis [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Astrocytes are the key component of the central nervous system (CNS), serving as pivotal regulators of neuronal synapse formation and maturation through their ability to dynamically and bidirectionally communicate with synapses throughout life.

NEUROTROPHIC ACTIONS OF LEPTIN IN HIPPOCAMPAL SYNAPTOGENESIS DURING DEVELOPMENT [PDF]
, 2020 Leptin is a crucial neurotrophic factor during the development of the hippocampus. Mouse models that are deficient in leptin synthesis or functional leptin receptors exhibit depression, anxiety, and cognitive deficits, the disorders partly associated ...

Commissureless endocytosis is correlated with initiation of neuromuscular synaptogenesis
, 1998 We show that the Commissureless (COMM) transmembrane protein is required at neuromuscular synaptogenesis. All muscles in the Drosophila embryo express COMM during the period of motoneuron-muscle interaction.

WormBook, 2005 Synaptogenesis is a process involving the formation of a neurotransmitter release site in the presynaptic neuron and a receptive field at the postsynaptic partners, and the precise alignment of pre- and post-synaptic specializations. In C. elegans synapses are found as en passant axonal swellings along the nerve processes.

PLoS ONE, 2017 The number of synapses is a major determinant of behavior and many neural diseases exhibit deviations in that number. However, how signaling pathways control this number is still poorly understood.
