Transsynaptic Fish-lips signaling prevents misconnections between nonsynaptic partner olfactory neurons [Neuroscience]

Our understanding of the mechanisms of neural circuit assembly is far from complete. Identification of wiring molecules with novel mechanisms of action will provide insights into how complex and heterogeneous neural circuits assemble during development. In the Drosophila olfactory system, 50 classes of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) make precise synaptic...
