Cell Surface Carbohydrate-Binding Proteins: Role in Cell Recognition

  • Chapter
Neuronal Recognition

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Neurobiology ((CTNB))

Abstract

The complexity of cellular associations in the nervous system suggests a high level of development of cellular recognition processes. To understand these processes, it will be necessary to isolate the specific molecules that mediate cellular recognition. This task might be particularly difficult in the nervous system, where cellular interactions appear to be so complicated. Therefore, studies with simpler biological systems seem preferable to lay the groundwork. Although additional mechanisms may be required to provide the graded specifications required for precise interneuronal interactions, it is likely that the general mechanisms employed in simpler systems will be conserved in some form.
