Experiments in peripheral and central synapses reveal the regulatory mechanisms that enable trans-synaptic control of synapse development and maintenance by the L1-type CAM Neuroglian.
Targeted domain-specific mutations and cell type–specific rescue experiments show that L1CAM/Neuroglian is required for axon–axon interactions and yield insights into the cellular mechanisms controlling establishment of the complex mushroom body architecture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
