An open-source tool for analysis and automatic identification of dendritic spines using machine learning.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Synaptic plasticity, the cellular basis for learning and memory, is mediated by a complex biochemical network of signaling proteins. These proteins are compartmentalized in dendritic spines, the tiny, bulbous, post-synaptic structures found on neuronal ...

MicroRNA-9 controls dendritic development by targeting REST [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are conserved noncoding RNAs that function as posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression. miR-9 is one of the most abundant miRNAs in the brain.

The malleable brain: plasticity of neural circuits and behavior: A review from students to students [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
One of the most intriguing features of the brain is its ability to be malleable, allowing it to adapt continually to changes in the environment. Specific neuronal activity patterns drive long-lasting increases or decreases in the strength of synaptic ...

Barriers in the Brain: Resolving Dendritic Spine Morphology and Compartmentalization

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2014
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 50-400 nm thin membrane tube, called the spine neck, which has ...

The schizophrenia-associated missense variant rs13107325 regulates dendritic spine density

open access: yesTranslational Psychiatry, 2022
The missense variant rs13107325 (C/T, p.Ala391Thr) in SLC39A8 consistently showed robust association with schizophrenia in recent genome-wide association studies (GWASs), suggesting the potential pathogenicity of this non-synonymous risk variant ...

Cocaine-induced structural plasticity in frontal cortex correlates with conditioned place preference. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Contextual cues associated with previous drug exposure can trigger drug craving and seeking, and form a substantial obstacle in substance use recovery.

Structural plasticity of dendritic spines [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Neurobiology, 2012
Dendritic spines are small mushroom-like protrusions arising from neurons where most excitatory synapses reside. Their peculiar shape suggests that spines can serve as an autonomous postsynaptic compartment that isolates chemical and electrical signaling.
