a protein that spans the cell membrane and matches up axons with dendrites to form synapses in the developing brain.

A biphasic structural plasticity rule interacts with homeostatic synaptic scaling to maintain firing rate homeostasis in neural networks.

Synaptic vesicle exocytosis is the biological process by which a synaptic vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane of the pre-synaptic axon terminal and releases its contents into the synaptic cleft.
