The Sticky Synapse Cell Adhesion Molecules and Their Role in Synapse Formation and Maintenance
Topics discussed range from general synaptic processes, such as neuromuscular junction and CNS synapse formation, to CAM-specific chapters on Cadherins, Ig-domain CAMs, Neuroligins, extracellular matrix molecules, Connexins and many others, and how these CAM families contribute specifically to synap...
