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

Dendritic spines are membranous protrusions that receive essentially all excitatory inputs in
most mammalian neurons. Spines, with a bulbous head connected to the dendrite by a thin …

Dendritic spines are the postsynaptic components of most excitatory synapses in the
mammalian brain. Spines accumulate rapidly during early postnatal development and …

Dendritic spines, which are present at the vast majority of excitatory synapses in the central
nervous system, have a specialized cytoskeleton of dynamic actin filaments that makes them …

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 …

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 …
