The fourth European Synapse Meeting is organized by members of two EC-funded research programmes on synapses (EUROSPIN and SYNSYS) and two ITN research and training networks (SyMBaD and NPlast). This is the fourth edition of a biannual event, after Bordeaux (2008), Göttingen (2009) and Balatonfured, Hungary (2011).

Abstract:
The protein NoGo-A, originally discovered as a simple myelin component, plays a fundamental role in both restricting growth of aberrant or dysfunctional connections in the mature Central Nervous System (CNS) and in hampering the reconnection of interrupted circuits after damage (Schwab, 2010). Our study published in The Journal of Neuroscience (Rolando et al., 2012) reveals that NoGo-A also limits the production of new neurons by adult neural stem cells, suggesting a key role for this protein and its receptor NgR1 in the maintenance of CNS structural stability.
