摘要

Understanding how the spectacular complexity of connections among the neurons in the brain is established during embryonic development often is referred to as "the wiring problem." Wiring assembly is viewed largely as a two-stage operation, involving axon pathfinding to reach the target and target selection that enables formation of appropriate synaptic connections (1, 2). The former entails growth cone migration that can occur over substantial distances and is considered to be driven largely by molecular cues; electrical activity is thought to play little role, with some exceptions (3, 4). The latter, involving sorting of axons in local regions, has been shown to involve electrical activity. Blocking action potentials with tetrodotoxin that plugs voltage-gated sodium channels leads to defects in the precision of synaptic connections (5). In a recent issue of PNAS, Kasyanov et al. (6) reported the function of a different form of excitability in the establishment of functional connections in the hippocampus, a region of the brain known to be important for the formation of declarative memories. These new findings include identification of the function in the developing brain of a well described form of embryonic excitability, giant depolarizing potentials (GDPs; refs. 7 and 8), and illustrate a role for calcium signaling in synapse formation. The results also show that coincidence detection, long appreciated to play a role in strengthening synaptic connections in mature and developing nervous systems (9-11), can be important for establishing synaptic connections during embryogenesis.
