Mammalian DSCAMs: they won't help you find a partner, but they'll guarantee you some personal space

Neuron
Andrew D Huberman

Abstract

In this issue of Neuron, Fuerst et al., report that mammalian DSCAMs powerfully regulate the mosaic spacing of neurons in the retina, but not their synaptic specificity. The results unveil critical features regarding the type and scope of molecular interactions that guide neural circuit assembly in the mammalian CNS.
