Abstract

The mechanisms mediating the appropriate clustering of neurotransmitter receptors opposite release sites are poorly understood. Two studies in this issue of Neuron, Maro et al. (2015) and Tu et al. (2015), identify a new extracellular effector for neuroligin in GABAergic postsynaptic differentiation.
