The wiring of the nervous system requires that axons navigate to the correct targets and maintain their correct positions during developmental growth. In this issue, Shao et al. (2013) now reveal a crucial new role for glia in preserving correct synaptic connectivity during developmental growth.
神经系统的布线要求轴突在发育生长过程中导航到正确的靶标并保持其正确的位置。在本期中,Shao 等人(2013)揭示了神经胶质在发育生长过程中维持正确的突触连接中的一个关键的新作用。
