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 …

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

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 …

Neurons are perpetually receiving vast amounts of information in the form of synaptic input
from surrounding cells. The majority of input occurs at thousands of dendritic spines, which …

The introduction of high-resolution time lapse imaging and molecular biological tools has
changed dramatically the rate of progress towards the understanding of the complex …

Psychiatric and neurologic disorders ranging from mental retardation to addiction are
accompanied by structural and functional alterations of synaptic connections in the brain …

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 key players in information processing in the brain. Changes in spine
shape and wholesale spine turnover provide mechanisms for modifying existing synaptic …
