Synapses between nerve cells in the mammalian brain are not only extremely numerous but also very diverse with respect to their structural and functional characteristics. This heterogeneity arises despite the fact that a set of common basic protein ‘building blocks’ is shared by many synapses.

Synaptogenesis in the retina of the cat
Brain Research, 1986We have studied the development of synapses in the retina of the cat from E(embryonic day)21 to adulthood. The inner plexiform layer (IPL) could be distinguished by E36, but at this age no synapses had formed, although compact processes had formed in the IPL and membrane specialisations had developed in adjacent processes. Conventional synapses form in

GABARAP: Lessons for Synaptogenesis
The Neuroscientist, 2003The clustering of neurotransmitter receptors at the postsynaptic terminals is a critical requirement for efficient neurotransmission and neuronal communication. This process is facilitated by adaptor proteins, which bridge the postsynaptic receptors and the underlying cytoskeleton. One such molecule, the GABAA receptor-associated protein, GABARAP, was

Role for glia in synaptogenesis
Glia, 2004AbstractNearly one‐half of the cells in a human brain are astrocytes, but the function of these little cells remains a great mystery. Astrocytes form an intimate association with synapses throughout the adult CNS, where they help regulate ion and neurotransmitter concentrations.

Synaptogenesis in hippocampal cultures
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences CMLS, 1999Hippocampal 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 compartments.

MECHANISMS OF VERTEBRATE SYNAPTOGENESIS
Annual Review of Neuroscience, 2005The formation of synapses in the vertebrate central nervous system is a complex process that occurs over a protracted period of development. Recent work has begun to unravel the mysteries of synaptogenesis, demonstrating the existence of multiple molecules that influence not only when and where synapses form but also synaptic specificity and stability.

Chemical synapses allow neurons to perform complex computations and regulate other systems of the body. At a chemical synapse, pre- and postsynaptic sites are separated by a small space (the synaptic cleft) and surrounded by astrocytes. The basement membrane (BM), a sheetlike, specialized extracellular matrix (ECM), is found ubiquitously in the PNS. It
