Heparin-binding growth-associated molecule (HB-GAM) in activity-dependent neuronal plasticity in hippocampus [PDF]
Cell adhesion and extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules play a significant role in neuronal plasticity both during development and in the adult. Plastic changes in which ECM components are implicated may underlie important nervous system functions, such ...
