The development of the vertebrate nervous system relies on dynamic interactions between neurons and their environment, orchestrated in large part by neural cell adhesion molecules (NCAMs). Among these ...

Cell adhesion underpins the assembly, patterning and function of the nervous system by directing how neurons recognise each other and establish precise connections. Key families of adhesion molecules, ...

Delivering a connection-building protein to star-shaped cells in the brain could reverse changes to neural circuits seen in Down syndrome, according to new research my colleagues and I published in ...
