About this Research Topic
The goal of this Research Topic is to address questions including but not limited to:
1. Molecular mechanisms underlying synaptogenesis, maintenance, and plasticity.
2. Molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic transmission including trafficking and function of presynaptic and postsynaptic proteins.
3. Glial regulation of synaptic structure and function.
In this research topic, we collect original Research papers, Opinion articles, and Reviews in the areas including but not limited to the genetic and epigenetic regulation of synaptic formation, maintenance, transmission and plasticity during the physiological and pathological processes.
Keywords: Synaptogenesis, Synaptic specificity, Synaptic maintenance, Synaptic transmission, Synaptic plasticity
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
