Annotation description:Fig.4: "TrkC and PTPσ Ectodomains Induce Excitatory Presynaptic and Postsynaptic Differentiation, Respectively"

Fig.6: "Blockade of TrkC-PTPσ Interaction with a Neutralizing Antibody Inhibits Synaptogenic Activity of TrkC and PTPσ and Reduces Excitatory Synapse Density"

The model is that presynaptic PTPσ clusters postsynaptic TrkC which in turn instructs postsynapse assembly.
