Printedonacid-freepaper SpringerispartofSpringerScience+BusinessMedia(www.springer.com) Preface Themolecularmechanisms,whichareresponsibleforthefunctionaldifferences betweenthevarioustypesofneuronalsynapses,havebecomeoneofthecentral themes of modern neurobiology. It is becoming increasingly clear that a misregulation of synaptogenesis and synaptic remodeling and dysfunctional neuronalsynapsesareattheheartofseveralhumandiseases,bothneurological disorders and psychiatric conditions. As synapses present specialized cellular junctionsbetweenneuronsandtheirtargetcells,itmaynotcomeasasurprise that neural cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are of special importance for the genesisandthemaintenanceofsynapticconnections.Genesencodingadhesive molecules make up a significant portion of the human genome, and neural CAMseven havebeenpostulated tobe amajor factor intheevolution ofthe humanbrain.Thesearejustsomeofthemanyreasonswhywethoughtabook on neural CAMs and their role in establishing and maintaining neuronal synapses would be highly appropriate for summarizing our current state of knowledge. Without question, over the near future, additional adhesive proteins will join the ranks of synaptic CAMs and our knowledge, and how thesemoleculesenableneuronsandtheirtargetstocommunicateeffectivelywill grow.Wehopethatthisbookwillprovideacomprehensiveandtimelysynopsis of the role of CAMs at synaptic connections and will encourage other researchers to join this exciting field of neuroscience, which has the promise notonlytoyieldnewinsightsintothefunctioningofourbrainbutalsotoshed lightonsomedevastatinghumandiseases.

Description:
Over the last few years, a considerable number of different cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) have been identified that are imperative for synapse formation and maintenance. Recent research, however, has also revealed that many synaptic connections are highly dynamic and not as stable as initially thou
