Morphological analysis of dendrites and spines by hybridization of ridge detection with twin support vector machine [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Dendritic spines are described as neuronal protrusions. The morphology of dendritic spines and dendrites has a strong relationship to its function, as well as playing an important role in understanding brain function.

Microtubules in Dendritic Spine Development [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2008 It is generally believed that only the actin cytoskeleton resides in dendritic spines and controls spine morphology and plasticity. Here, we report that microtubules (MTs) are present in spines and that shRNA knockdown of the MT plus-end-binding protein EB3 significantly reduces spine formation.

NESH regulates dendritic spine morphology and synapse formation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundDendritic spines are small membranous protrusions on the neuronal dendrites that receive synaptic input from axon terminals. Despite their importance for integrating the enormous information flow in the brain, the molecular mechanisms ...

SPIN90 phosphorylation modulates spine structure and synaptic function. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The correct rearrangement of postsynaptic components in dendritic spines is important for driving changes of spine structure and synaptic function. SPIN90 plays an essential role in many cellular processes including actin polymerization, endocytosis ...

Morphological plasticity of astroglia: Understanding synaptic microenvironment [PDF]
, 2015 Memory formation in the brain is thought to rely on the remodeling of synaptic connections which eventually results in neural network rewiring. This remodeling is likely to involve ultrathin astroglial protrusions which often occur in the immediate ...

Lipid dynamics at dendritic spines [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2014 Dynamic changes in the structure and composition of the membrane protrusions forming dendritic spines underlie memory and learning processes. In recent years a great effort has been made to characterize in detail the protein machinery that controls spine plasticity.
