Abstract

Significance: Synapses functionally connect neurons in the brain and mediate information processing relevant to all aspects of life. Among others, synaptic connections are enabled by cell adhesion molecules, which connect presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes by binding to each other via the synaptic cleft. Mammalian genomes express hundreds of cell adhesion molecules whose combinatorial utilization is thought to contribute to the brain’s “connectivity code.” Such code could explain the versatility of synapses as well as the logic of connectivity between cell types. Here, we used single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze the expression of cell adhesion molecules and other signaling proteins in defined cell types, and found developmental patterns that potentially identify relevant elements of the connectivity code.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
