摘要
A recent report has uncovered a fascinating aspect of how neurons utilize alternative splicing of transcripts of an adhesion G protein-coupled receptor(aGPCR)gene to serve specific functions in the life of a synapse.1 The work provides significant insight into the ability of cells to support distinct biochemical and physiological operations through post-transcriptional processing of genetic information that is encoded in a single aGPCR locus.
