High content image analysis identifies novel regulators of synaptogenesis in a high-throughput RNAi screen of primary neurons.

The formation of synapses, the specialized points of chemical communication between neurons, is a highly regulated developmental process fundamental to establishing normal brain circuitry. Perturbations of synapse formation and function causally contribute to human developmental and degenerative neu...
