It has been recently considered that synapses, which connect between neurons, are a basic element for the learning and memory. Therefore, to elucidate how synapses are formed and behave in vivo is a very important issue for understanding the process of learning and memory. In this study, we found that novel C1q-family proteins, which have a functional domain conserved in the C1q complement in immune system, regulate dynamically synapse morphology, functions and the localization of the synaptic proteins in the cerebellum and hippocampus (Elegheert, Kakegawa et al., Science, ’16; Matsuda et al., Neuron, ’16; Kakegawa et al., Neuron, ’15). Interestingly, as C1q-family proteins are widely expressed in various brain regions throughout life, our findings may provide useful information to understand general and novel mechanisms for the synaptic integrity in the CNS.
