Purification of the Dendritic Filopodia-rich Fraction

open access: closedJournal of Visualized Experiments, 2019
Dendritic filopodia are thin and long protrusions based on the actin filament, and they extend and retract as if searching for a target axon. When the dendritic filopodia establish contact with a target axon, they begin maturing into spines, leading to ...

Local calcium transients regulate the spontaneous motility of dendritic filopodia

open access: closedNature Neuroscience, 2005
During development, dendrites, and in particular dendritic filopodia, undergo extensive structural remodeling, presumably to help establish synaptic contacts. Here, we investigated the role of calcium signaling in dendritic plasticity by simultaneously recording calcium dynamics and filopodial growth in rat hippocampal slice cultures.

Gabapentin-Lactam Induces Dendritic Filopodia and Motility in Cultured Hippocampal Neurons

open access: closedThe Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2006
Gabapentin is currently used as a therapeutic agent against epilepsy as well as neuropathic pain. In contrast to gabapentin, its derivative gabapentin-lactam has a pronounced neuroprotective activity. We have studied in cultured hippocampal neurons whether gabapentin-lactam has also neurotrophic effects.

Actomyosin Contractility and Actin Polymerization Explain Dynamic Behavior of Dendritic Filopodia [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2013
Dendritic filopodia are actin-filled highly dynamic subcellular structures that sprout densely on neuronal dendrites during early brain development. A fraction of filopodia undergo a transition to dendritic spines that later mature into synapses - a process crucial for memory formation and learning, and deficient in neurodevelopmental and ...
