Neuronal Wiring: Linking Dendrite Placement to Synapse Formation
Understanding the processes that drive the formation of synapses between specific neurons within a circuit is critical to understanding how neural networks develop. A new study of synapse formation between motor neurons and pre-synaptic partners highlights the importance of dendrite placement.
متن کاملWNTs in synapse formation and neuronal circuitry.
Wnt proteins play important roles in wiring neural circuits. Wnts regulate many aspects of neural circuit generation through their receptors and distinct signalling pathways. In this review, we discuss recent findings on the functions of Wnts in various aspects of neural circuit formation, including neuronal polarity, axon guidance, synapse formation, and synaptic plasticity in vertebrate and i...
متن کاملMethods for neuronal guiding and synapse formation
HYPOTHESIS Light at certain wavelengths, can cross the cell, tissue sections and organ tissues for in-vitro studies, but can also be used for in-vivo studies. The ability to guide the growth of neural extensions was proven by laser. Synapses produced with laser have the instability as main disadvantage, in the absence of high densities of neurons. The main mechanism of synapse formation is the ...
متن کاملSynapSe and dendrite Structural abnormalitieS
SynapSe and dendrite Structural abnormalitieS There are many signaling pathways implicated in the underlying causes of MR but the majority have direct interactions with Rho, Rac and Ras small GTPases (Ramakers, 2002; Newey et al., 2005). These proteins are all key regulators of the actin and microtubule cytoskeleton and affect both the structure and function of dendrites and synapses. A morphol...
متن کاملWiring and rewiring of the retinogeniculate synapse.
The formation and refinement of synaptic circuits are areas of research that have fascinated neurobiologists for decades. A recurrent theme seen at many CNS synapses is that neuronal connections are at first imprecise, but refine and can be rearranged with time or with experience. Today, with the advent of new technologies to map and monitor neuronal circuits, it is worthwhile to revisit a powe...
