SALM4 suppresses excitatory synapse development by cis-inhibiting trans-synaptic SALM3–LAR adhesion

Synaptic adhesion molecules regulate synapse development and function by both cis and trans-interactions. Here, Lie et al. show that postsynaptic SALM4 regulates excitatory synapse numbers by cisinhibition of the SALM3-LAR transynaptic interaction.
