A Dynamin-3 Spliced Variant Modulates the Actin/Cortactin-Dependent Morphogenesis of Dendritic Spines [PDF]
, 2005 Immature dendrites extend many actin-rich filopodial structures that can be replaced by synapse-containing dendritic spines as the neuron matures. The large GTPase dynamin-3 (Dyn3) is a component of the postsynapse in hippocampal neurons but its function

Electrical advantages of dendritic spines.
PLoS ONE, 2012 Many neurons receive excitatory glutamatergic input almost exclusively onto dendritic spines. In the absence of spines, the amplitudes and kinetics of excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) at the site of synaptic input are highly variable and depend

Biological Research, 2023 Previous studies have shown that peripheral nerve injury can lead to abnormal dendritic spine remodeling in spinal dorsal horn neurons. Inhibition of abnormal dendritic spine remodeling can relieve neuropathic pain.

Ecotoxicology 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-

Calcium Dynamics in Dendritic Spines and Spine Motility [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2004 A dendritic spine is an intracellular compartment in synapses of central neurons. The role of the fast twitching of spines, brought about by a transient rise of internal calcium concentration above that of the parent dendrite, has been hitherto unclear.

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2020 Background Dendritic spines, the actin-rich protrusions emerging from dendrites, are the subcellular locations of excitatory synapses in the mammalian brain. Many actin-regulating molecules modulate dendritic spine morphology.

Dendritic Spine Plasticity and Cognition [PDF]
Neural Plasticity, 2012 The scientific studies of dendritic spines have experienced an overwhelming growth in the last three decades. Since the primary concept that dendritic spines are sites of excitatory synaptic contact, the most recent studies have led to theoretical proposals that relate spines' morphophysiology with the information processing that underlies cognition ...

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2014 Units of dendritic branches called dendritic spines represent more than simply decorative appendages of the neuron and actively participate in integrative functions of ‘spinous’ nerve cells thereby contributing to the general phenomenon of synaptic ...
