Synapses, as fundamental units of the neural circuitry, enable complex behaviors. The
neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a synapse type that forms between motoneurons and …

The most impressive structural feature of the nervous system is the specificity of its synaptic
connections. Even after axons have navigated long distances to reach target areas, they …

Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 4 (Lrp4) is a member of a family of
structurally related, single-pass transmembrane proteins that carry out a variety of functions …

In the nervous system, only one type of neuron–glial synapse is known to exist: that between
neurons and oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), yet their composition, assembly …

Studies of the vertebrate skeletal neuromuscular junction led to an influential model of how
neurotransmitter receptors accumulate in the postsynaptic membrane. In this model, motor …

Recent developments in our understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms
underlying degeneration in both the central and peripheral nervous systems have …

Early during neuromuscular development, acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) accumulate at
the center of muscle fibers, precisely where motor growth cones navigate and synapses …

The vertebrate neuromuscular junction (NMJ) remains the best‐studied model for
understanding the mechanisms involved in synaptogenesis, due to its relatively large size …

Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are a group of genetic disorders that affect
protein and lipid glycosylation and glycosylphosphatidylinositol synthesis. More than 100 …

Zebrafish are a unique cell to behavior model for studying the basic biology of human
inherited neurological conditions. Conserved vertebrate genetics and optical transparency …
