Dendritic spines arise as small protrusions from the dendritic shaft of various types of neuron
and receive inputs from excitatory axons. Ever since dendritic spines were first described in …

Dendritic spines are tiny protrusions that receive excitatory synaptic input and
compartmentalize postsynaptic responses. Heterogeneous in size and shape, and …

Dendritic spines are small protrusions from many types of neuron, which receive most of the
excitatory inputs to the cell. Spines are thought to have important roles in neural information …

Dendritic spines are tiny protrusions on dendritic shafts where most excitatory synapses are
located. Recent advances in imaging technologies have given us great insight into the …

Dendritic spines, small bulbous postsynaptic compartments emanating from neuronal
dendrites, have been thought to serve as basic units of memory storage. Despite their small …

Dendritic spines are small protrusions from neuronal dendrites that form the postsynaptic
component of most excitatory synapses in the brain. They play critical roles in synaptic …

A leading neurobiologist explores the fundamental function of dendritic spines in neural
circuits by analyzing different aspects of their biology, including structure, development …

A recent series of exciting observations, using novel high-resolution time-lapse imaging of
living cells, has provoked a major shift in our understanding of the dendritic spine, from a …

Dendritic spines, the bulbous protrusions that form the postsynaptic half of excitatory
synapses, are one of the most prominent features of neurons and have been imaged and …

Dendritic spines are small protrusions that cover the surface of dendrites and bear the
postsynaptic component of excitatory synapses. Having an enlarged head connected to the …
