Neurons rely on molecular interactions typically mediated by transmembrane adhesion proteins to locate appropriate partners and establish connections. A recent study finds that a member of the cadherin family of cell adhesion proteins organizes color-preferring connections in the part of the retinal neural circuit designated for encoding light decrements.
