Neuronal wiring: linking dendrite placement to synapse formation

Current Biology : CB
Jenna R Sternberg, Claire Wyart

Abstract

Understanding the processes that drive the formation of synapses between specific neurons within a circuit is critical to understanding how neural networks develop. A new study of synapse formation between motor neurons and pre-synaptic partners highlights the importance of dendrite placement.
