About

Synaptogenesis is the academic concept and research field investigating the complex biological processes governing the formation, maturation, and refinement of synapses, the functional connections between neurons or between neurons and target cells. This fundamental developmental and plastic process is crucial for establishing and organizing neural circuitry, underpinning cognitive functions such as learning and memory, and is a key area of study for understanding both typical brain development and neurological disorders.
