WNTs in synapse formation and neuronal circuitry

WNTs in synapse formation and neuronal circuitryKang Shen and Mikyoung Park highlight recent discoveries on the instructive role of Wnt signals in synapse and neuronal circuitry formation.

Neuroligin-1–dependent competition regulates cortical synaptogenesis and synapse number

The function of neuroligins in regulating synapse formation remains controversial. Here, the authors show that neuroligin-1 (NL1) regulates activity-dependent synaptogenesis and mature synapse number...

Fujifilm announces availability of Synapse Mobility 3.0

FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. announced the availability of Synapse Mobility 3.0, a new zero footprint application with improved features that enable access to Fujifilm's suite of Synapse prod...

Microtubule dynamics and signal transduction at the immunological synapse: new partners and new connections

Antigen recognition induces T-cell polarization towards antigen presenting cells, generating the immunological synapse at the cell interface. Now, microtubule-mediated polarized vesicle transport is s...

Decreased expression of synapse-related genes and loss of synapses in major depressive disorder

Ronald Duman and colleagues report that synapse number is reduced in subjects with major depressive disorder. This is associated with decreased expression of synapse-related genes and increased expres...

A Process Where Mutations Lead To Autism And Other Diseases Captured In Live Zebra Fish Embryos

Using spinning disk microscopy on barely day-old zebra fish embryos, University of Oregon scientists have gained a new window on how synapse-building components move to worksites in the central nervou...

ONC-ATCB certifies Fujifilm Synapse MU 3.0

Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT), an ONC-ATCB, has certified CC-1112-48540-2 number to Fujifilm Medical Systems' Synapse MU 3.0.

Understanding the Structure and Function of the Immunological Synapse.

The immunological synapse has been an area of very active scientific interest over the last decade. Surprisingly, much about the synapse remains unknown or is controversial.  Here we review some of t...

A carbon nanotube synapse with dynamic logic and learning.

A carbon nanotube (CNT) synapse emulates a biological synapse with its dynamic logic, learning, and memory functions induced by the interactions between CNTs and hydrogen ions in an electrochemical ce...

Synapse-to-neuron ratio is inversely related to neuronal density in mature neuronal cultures.

Synapse formation is a fundamental process in neurons that occurs throughout development, maturity, and aging. Although these stages contain disparate and fluctuating numbers of mature neurons, tactic...

EphB-Mediated Degradation of the RhoA GEF Ephexin5 Relieves a Developmental Brake on Excitatory Synapse Formation.

The mechanisms that promote excitatory synapse formation and maturation have been extensively studied. However, the molecular events that limit excitatory synapse development so that synapses form at...

CYY-1/Cyclin Y and CDK-5 Differentially Regulate Synapse Elimination and Formation for Rewiring Neural Circuits.

The assembly and maturation of neural circuits require a delicate balance between synapse formation and elimination. The cellular and molecular mechanisms that coordinate synaptogenesis and synapse el...
