In a neural circuit, synapses transfer information rapidly between neurons and transform this
information during transfer. The diverse computational properties of synapses are shaped by …

Trans-synaptic cell-adhesion molecules are critical for governing various stages of synapse
development and specifying neural circuit properties via the formation of multifarious …

To prevent or reduce mortality from lung diseases, new biological materials and scaffolds
are needed to conduct more accurate research and support lung tissue regeneration. On the …

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) comprises a group of multifactorial neurodevelopmental
disorders primarily characterized by deficits in social interaction and repetitive behavior …

Synapse maintenance is essential for generating functional circuitry, and decrement in this
process is a hallmark of neurodegenerative disease. Yet, little is known about synapse …

Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are key players in the formation of neural circuits during
development. The γ-protocadherins (γ-Pcdhs), a family of 22 CAMs encoded by the Pcdhg …

Normal neural circuits and functions depend on proper neuronal differentiation, migration,
synaptic plasticity, and maintenance. Abnormalities in these processes underlie various …

Copy number variations at 7q11. 23 cause neurodevelopmental disorders with shared and
opposite manifestations. Deletion causes Williams-Beuren syndrome featuring …

Hearing depends on precise synaptic transmission between cochlear inner hair cells and
spiral ganglion neurons through afferent ribbon synapses. Neuroligins (Nlgns) facilitate …

Synapses serve as the points of communication between neurons, consisting primarily of
three components: the presynaptic membrane, synaptic cleft, and postsynaptic membrane …
