Sexually dimorphic control of excitatory synapse maintenance in ventral hippocampal circuits by Neurexin2α ligand Vstm2b

Abstract Neuronal networks rely on precise synapse formation, maturation, and maintenance orchestrated by synaptic adhesion molecules including α- and β-neurexins (Nrxns). Through unbiased proteomics, we identified Vstm2 family members as α-Nrxn-specific interactors that require...
