Abstract	Chemical synapses are sites of cell–cell contact between neurons mediating interneuronal communication. Both the presynaptic terminal and the postsynaptic compartment comprise a highly specialized cytoskeleton underlying the synaptic membranes (Burns and Augustine, 1995). This cortical cytoskeleton, together with cell adhesion molecules and components of the extracellular matrix, act to keep pre- and postsynaptic compartments in register (Hall and Sanes, 1993; Burns and Augustine, 1995; Garner and Kindler, 1996). At the postsynaptic side, an electron-dense meshwork of fine filaments, the S. tom Dieck, L. Sanmartí-Vila, and K. Langnaese contributed equally to this work.
