title: New roles for ubiquitin in the assembly and function of neuronal circuits.
abstract: A series of recent papers highlight a prominent role for ubiquitin in the formation and function of neural circuits. These new results focus attention on the molecular remodeling that occurs at various decision points in the life of growth cones and synapses.
