  • Title: The refinement of invertebrate synapses during development.
    Author: Lnenicka GA, Murphey RK.
    Journal: J Neurobiol; 1989 Jul; 20(5):339-55. PubMed ID: 2664077.
    Abstract:
    Evidence is provided that during invertebrate development synapses undergo a period of refinement during which there are changes in synaptic connectivity and specific synaptic properties. It appears that extrinsic cues such as competition and neural activity are involved in guiding these synaptic changes in invertebrates. Comparisons are made with findings in the vertebrate literature.
