The Morphological Identity of Insect Dendrites [PDF]
, 2008 Dendrite morphology, a neuron's anatomical fingerprint, is a neuroscientist's asset in unveiling organizational principles in the brain. However, the genetic program encoding the morphological identity of a single dendrite remains a mystery.

Regulation of subcellular dendritic synapse specificity by axon guidance cues
eLife, 2019 Neural circuit assembly occurs with subcellular precision, yet the mechanisms underlying this precision remain largely unknown. Subcellular synaptic specificity could be achieved by molecularly distinct subcellular domains that locally regulate synapse ...

eLife, 2019 Huntington’s disease (HD) is initially characterized by an inability to suppress unwanted movements, a deficit attributable to impaired synaptic activation of striatal indirect pathway spiny projection neurons (iSPNs). To better understand the mechanisms

Stress Elicits Contrasting Effects on Rac1-Cofilin Signaling in the Hippocampus and Amygdala
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 There is accumulating evidence for contrasting patterns of stress-induced morphological and physiological plasticity in glutamatergic synapses of the hippocampus and amygdala. The same chronic stress that leads to the formation of dendritic spines in the

A dendrite is a dendrite is a dendrite? Dendritic signal integration beyond the “antenna” model
Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of PhysiologyAbstractNeurons in central nervous systems receive multiple synaptic inputs and transform them into a largely standardized output to their target cells—the action potential. A simplified model posits that synaptic signals are integrated by linear summation and passive propagation towards the axon initial ...

Dendrite-Free Composite Li Anode Assisted by Ag Nanoparticles in a Wood-Derived Carbon Frame
, 2019 Using lithium metal as anode in lithium batteries has attracted great attention due to its ultrahigh theoretical capacity of 3860 mA h g–1. However, the uneven deposition of lithium will cause dendrites, resulting in a poor cycling performance. Herein, a

Beyond Axon Guidance: Roles of Slit-Robo Signaling in Neocortical Formation
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 The formation of the neocortex relies on intracellular and extracellular signaling molecules that are involved in the sequential steps of corticogenesis, ranging from the proliferation and differentiation of neural progenitor cells to the migration and ...

Automated analysis of spine dynamics on live CA1 pyramidal cells [PDF]
, 2015 Dendritic spines may be tiny in volume, but are of major importance for neuroscience. They are the main receivers for excitatory synaptic connections, and their constant changes in number and in shape reflect the dynamic connectivity of the brain.

Physiological Roles of Robo Receptor during dendrite development of the multidendritic arborization neurons of the Drosophila peripheral nervous system [PDF]
, 2007 Elaboration of a dendritic arbor and the extension of an axon define the neuronal shape and are the key morphological features defining neuronal maturation. How the process is molecularly regulated is only poorly understood.
