Cell adhesion molecules CadN, DIP-α and klg regulate axon targeting and dendritic elaboration through synergistic and opposing effects.

Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are critical regulators of neural wiring that guide axon targeting, dendritic arborization and synaptic connections. Although individual neurons express diverse CAMs, the integrated regulatory roles of these molecules remain largely unclear. We identified three CAMs, N-Cadherin (CadN), im...
