A recent finding is that synaptogenesis depends on the presence of
A) astrocytes.
B) neurons.
C) growth cones.
D) pioneer cones.
E) guidance molecules.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recent research has shown that astrocytes play a critical role in synaptogenesis, the process of forming connections between neurons. Astrocytes release a variety of molecules that promote the growth and maturation of neurons and synapses. Without astrocytes, synaptogenesis is impaired. Therefore, choice A is the best option.
