Stanford researchers survey protein family that helps the brain form synapses

Groundbreaking study finds hundreds of variants of neurexin proteins, offering new evidence linking these differences to complex brain functions and disorders like autismNeuroscientists and bioengineers at Stanford are working together to solve a mystery: how does nature construct the different types of synapses that connect neurons - the brain cells that monitor nerve impulses, control muscles and form thoughts.In a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Thomas C. S�dhof, M.D., a professor of molecular and cellular physiology, and Stephen R.
