Postsynaptic MT1-MMP serves as a molecular switch to synaptogenesis by clearing the surrounding ECM environment that allows effective deposition of nerve-derived synaptogenic factors to induce postsynaptic differentiation at developing NMJs.

R7 photoreceptors require the endosomal protein Lost and Found to form stable connections only when this protein is also present in neurons that are synaptic partners of R7.

Terminal selectors reorganize postmitotic neuronal chromatin to select cis-regulatory elements during 5-HT neuron maturation.

Cadherin-dependent cell adhesion controls the contralateral migration and clustering of ocular motor subpopulations and is required for the development of functional eye movements driven by those neurons.

Semaphorin7A sculpts the collective arbor architecture of the lateral line nerve and facilitates neural contacts with the hair cells for synaptogenesis during neuromast development in the zebrafish.

In congenital stationary night blindness type 2, Ca_v3 channels may maintain cone synaptic output and visual function provided that the nonconducting role of Ca_v1.4 in cone synaptogenesis remains intact.

Afferent-derived factors control the elaboration of appropriate and robust sizes of dendritic arbors by dynamically modulating dendritic growth parameters.

Mitochondria reach stable positions in dendrites during a critical developmental period of high motility.

Ketamine induces the expression of Ca²⁺-permeable AMPA receptors to enhance synaptic glutamatergic and Ca²⁺ activity in neurons to cause rapid antidepressant effects.

Lasso and latrophilin-1 interact across the synapse, while shed Lasso binds latrophilin-1 on distant growth cones and attracts them, providing a universal mechanism for short- and long-range axonal guidance.
