Synaptogenesis

Altering your inhibitions

Nature Reviews Neuroscience volume 9, pages 800–801 (2008)Cite this article

The authors used DNA microarrays and other means to identify transcription factors that are regulated specifically by Ca2+ influx into neurons during the period of development in which inhibitory synapses are maturing. They found just one, NPAS4, and went on to investigate whether this protein has a role in the regulation of synapses.
