Sinaptogênese
Sign in to saveAlso known as GO:0007416, synapse biogenesis, synaptogenesis
Synaptogenesis is the formation of synapses between neurons in the nervous system. Although it occurs throughout a healthy person's lifespan, an explosion of synapse formation occurs during early brain development, known as exuberant synaptogenesis. Synaptogenesis is particularly important during an individual's critical period, during which there is a certain degree of synaptic pruning due to competition for neural growth factors by neurons and synapses. Processes that are not used, or inhibited during their critical period will fail to develop normally later on in life.

Sinaptogênese é o processo de formação de sinapses entre os neurônios dos sistema nervoso central. Embora ele ocorra durante o decorrer da vida de um ser humano saudável, há esmagadora maioria do processo de sinaptogênese ocorre no início do desenvolvimento do sistema nervoso, ainda intra-útero, e também no início da vida, quando a criança está aprendendo a se relacionar com o mundo exterior.
