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 …

Contrary to a century-old belief that dendritic spines are stable storage sites of long term
memory, the emerging picture from a recent flurry of exciting observations using novel high …

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

The recent advent of novel high-resolution imaging methods has created a flurry of exciting
observations that address a century-old question: what are biological signals that regulate …

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 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, 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 studding neuronal dendrites, first described in 1888
by Ramón y Cajal using his famous Golgi stainings. Around 50 years later the advance of …

In excitatory neurons, most glutamatergic synapses are made on the heads of dendritic
spines, each of which houses the postsynaptic terminal of a single glutamatergic synapse …

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 …
