Travelling waves in a model of quasi-active dendrites with active spines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Dendrites, the major components of neurons, have many different types of branching structures and are involved in receiving and integrating thousands of synaptic inputs from other neurons.

Dendritic spine pathologies in hippocampal pyramidal neurons from Rett syndrome brain and after expression of Rett-associated MECP2 mutations

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2009
Rett syndrome (RTT) is an X chromosome-linked neurodevelopmental disorder associated with the characteristic neuropathology of dendritic spines common in diseases presenting with mental retardation (MR).

Hippocampal structural plasticity accompanies the resulting contextual fear memory following stress and fear conditioning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The present research investigated the resulting contextual fear memory and structural plasticity changes in the dorsal hippocampus (DH) following stress and fear conditioning. This combination enhanced fear retention and increased the number of total and

ApoE receptor 2 regulates synapse and dendritic spine formation.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundApolipoprotein E receptor 2 (ApoEr2) is a postsynaptic protein involved in long-term potentiation (LTP), learning, and memory through unknown mechanisms.

Co-exposure to low-dose lead, cadmium, and mercury promotes memory deficits in rats: Insights from the dynamics of dendritic spine pruning in brain development

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
Lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg) are environmentally toxic heavy metals that can be simultaneously detected at low levels in the blood of the general population. Although our previous studies have demonstrated neurodevelopmental toxicity upon co-

Neurotrophin and Wnt signaling cooperatively regulate dendritic spine formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Dendritic spines are major sites of excitatory synaptic transmission and changes in their numbers and morphology have been associated with neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders.

Lamina-specific AMPA receptor dynamics following visual deprivation in vivo. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Regulation of AMPA receptor (AMPAR) expression is central to synaptic plasticity and brain function, but how these changes occur in vivo remains elusive.

The discovery of dendritic spines by Cajal [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2015
Dendritic spines were considered an artifact of the Golgi method until a brash Spanish histologist, Santiago Ramón y Cajal, bet his scientific career arguing that they were indeed real, correctly deducing their key role in mediating synaptic connectivity.

Synapses and Dendritic Spines as Pathogenic Targets in Alzheimer’s Disease

open access: yesNeural Plasticity, 2012
Synapses are sites of cell-cell contacts that transmit electrical or chemical signals in the brain. Dendritic spines are protrusions on dendritic shaft where excitatory synapses are located.
