Abstract
Alterations in synapse number and morphology are associated with devastating psychiatric and neurologic disorders. In this issue of Cell, Margolis et al. (2010) show that the RhoA-guanine exchange factor (GEF) Ephexin5 limits the numbers of excitatory synapses that neurons receive, thus identifying a new mechanism controlling synaptogenesis.Entities:
