A characterization of C. elegans lacking the gene for Rim suggests that this protein may be involved in priming synaptic vesicles for fusion, not in docking or organizing active zones.
Two groups use a fluorescently tagged postsynaptic density protein and time-lapse imaging to track the location and timing of synapse formation in the developing brain.
Interactions between the ventral premotor area (PMv) and primary motor cortex may contribute to a sensorimotor transformation between intrinsic and extrinsic coordinates.
