Aside from evolutionary change itself, there are three main sources of variabil ity in neural networks: the somatic developmental sequence, which is responsi ble for network formation and neuroanatomy; the chemical and structural variation at synapses (particularly that related to neurotransmitters and chan nels); and the electrical variation that depends both upon intrinsic cellular metabolism and external signals. These processes emerge in a clear-cut order of development. It is just as clear, however, that none of these processes is fully independent of the others, although their relative contributions vary in time. While much has been done to study neurotransmitters and electrical activity in the last three decades, only recently has it become possible to study the molecular bases of constancy and variation in network formation, fiber tract mapping, and the establishment of the earliest contacts of nerve and muscle. One of the key elements in this molecular analysis has been the development of a concerted series of assays (4, 12, 13, 32) that unequivocally establish criteria for the isolation and structural and functional characterization of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). Prior to this approach, the evidence for the existence of such molecules was sparse and unconvincing, but since its applica tion at least three different CAMs have been isolated and described (1,4, 7, 8, 12, 20, 25, 26, 28, 31, 32, 34). On the basis of their description, previously recognized molecules whose functions had been unknown (20, 26, 31) were identified as CAMs. Particular CAMs have pivotal roles in neuron-neuron, neuron-muscle, and neuron-glial binding, and from the earliest stages in the development of the nervous system, each appears in neural tissues in characteristic dynamic patterns and spatiotemporal distributions (12).
