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 critical elements of cortical circuits, since they establish most excitatory
synapses. Recent studies have reported correlations between morphological and functional …

Dendritic spines receive most excitatory inputs in the neocortex and are morphologically
very diverse. Recent evidence has demonstrated linear relationships between the size and …

Dendritic spines have diverse morphologies, with a wide range of head and neck sizes, and
these morphologic differences likely generate different functional properties. To explore how …

Dendritic spines of pyramidal cells are the main postsynaptic targets of cortical excitatory
synapses and as such, they are fundamental both in neuronal plasticity and for the …

Dendritic spines receive most excitatory inputs in the CNS. Recent evidence has
demonstrated that the spine head volume is linearly correlated with the readily releasable …

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 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 micron-sized protrusions that harbor the majority of excitatory synapses
in the central nervous system. The head of the spine is connected to the dendritic shaft by a …

The discovery of dendritic spines in the late nineteenth century has prompted nearly 90
years of speculation about their physiological importance. Early observations that bulbous …
