Description for The Sticky Synapse. Cell Adhesion Molecules and Their Role in Synapse Formation and Maintenance.
Paperback. This is a comprehensive book on how adhesive proteins contribute to synapse formation, function, and remodeling. Topics covered range from general synaptic processes to CAM-specific chapters and how these CAM families contribute to synaptic functionality. Editor(s): Hortsch, Michael; Umemori, Hisashi. Num Pages: 465 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJN; PSAN; PSC; PSF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 24. Weight in Grams: 712.
The molecular mechanisms, which are responsible for the functional differences between the various types of neuronal synapses, have become one of the central themes of modern neurobiology. It is becoming increasingly clear that a misregulation of synaptogenesis and synaptic remodeling and dysfunctional neuronal synapses are at the heart of several human diseases, both neurological disorders and psychiatric conditions. As synapses present specialized cellular junctions between neurons and their target cells, it may not come as a surprise that neural cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are of special importance for the genesis and the maintenance of synaptic connections. Genes encoding adhesive molecules ... Read more
