Communication in all neural circuits is controlled by a remarkably similar, highly specialized site of cell-cell contact known as a synapse. The human brain contains trillions of these structures. Many open questions remain regarding how synapses are formed and lost, their nanoscale organization, and how defects in synaptic organization are linked to pathology and disease. This session will discuss a path toward defining basic molecular mechanisms that regulate synaptic development, organization, and function, as well as how this is advancing in unexpected directions.
This was selected as a part of the Neuroscience 2023 programming: Theme B – Neural Excitability, Synapses, and Glia
