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

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 …

The majority of fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system takes
place at protrusions along dendrites called spines. Dendritic spines are highly …

Dendritic spines are small mushroom-like protrusions arising from neurons where most
excitatory synapses reside. Their peculiar shape suggests that spines can serve as an …

Dendritic spines are small protrusions off the dendrite that receive excitatory synaptic input.
Spines vary in size, likely correlating with the strength of the synapses they form. In the …

Most excitatory synapses in the CNS form on dendritic spines, tiny protrusions from the
dendrites of excitatory neurons. As such, spines are likely loci of synaptic plasticity. Spines …

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

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 …
