The Sticky Synapse Cell Adhesion Molecules and Their Role in Synapse Formation and Maintenance /
Over the last few years, a considerable number of different cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) have been identified that are imperative for synapse formation and maintenance. Recent research, however, has also revealed that many synaptic connections are highly dynamic and not as stable as initially thou...
