Self-assembly is a ubiquitous process in synthetic and biological systems, broadly defined
as the spontaneous organization of multiple subunits (macromolecules, particles, etc.) into …

Evidence indicates that long-term memory formation involves alterations in synaptic efficacy
produced by modifications in neural transmission and morphology. However, it is not clear …

Actin-depolymerization factor (ADF)/cofilin, a family of actin-binding proteins, are critical for
the regulation of actin reorganization in response to various signals. Accumulating evidence …

Dendritic spines are small subcompartments that protrude from the dendrites of neurons and
are important for signaling activity and synaptic communication. These subcompartments …

The proteome of glutamatergic synapses is diverse across the mammalian brain and
involved in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Among those is fragile X syndrome …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with a progressive loss of synapses and neurons.
Studies in animal models indicate that morphological alterations of dendritic spines precede …

The ability to form memories in the brain is needed for daily functions, and its impairment is
associated with human mental disorders. Evidence indicates that long-term memory (LTM) …

Dendritic spines are small, bulbous protrusions along the dendrites of neurons and are sites
of excitatory postsynaptic activity. The morphology of spines has been implicated in their …

Dendritic spines are major sites of excitatory synaptic connection in pyramidal neurons of
the forebrain, and their functional regulation underlies the development of functional …

Dendritic filopodia of developing neurons function as environmental sensors, regulating the
spatial organization of dendrites and proper targeting to presynaptic partners. Dendritic …
