Structural Plasticity in Neuronal Networks [PDF]
, 2007 Neuronal networks are established during development by the formation of connections (synapses) between neurons. Once formed, these synapses undergo experience-dependent modifications throughout the lifespan of the animal (synaptic plasticity ...

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 ...

Synaptic activity and the formation and maintenance of neuronal circuits [PDF]
, 2005 One of the most fundamental features of neurons is their polarized organization with two types of neurites extending from the cell body, axons and dendrites that are both functionally and morphologically distinct.

Mechanisms of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II activation in single dendritic spines
Nature Communications, 2019 Activation of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) in dendritic spines is a key step of long-term potentiation (LTP) induction, yet the exact biochemical steps of CaMKIIα activation in dendritic spines remained elusive. In this study, the authors

Structural plasticity of dendritic spines [PDF]
Current 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.

Differentiation of dendrites and the analysis of spine- like structures on Lobula Plate Tangential Cells in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
, 2007 The development of dendrites leads to the establishment of cell-type specific morphology of dendritic trees that eventually determines the way in which synaptic information is processed within the nervous system. The aim of this study was to investigate

Actin capping protein regulates postsynaptic spine development through CPI-motif interactions
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 Dendritic spines are small actin-rich protrusions essential for the formation of functional circuits in the mammalian brain. During development, spines begin as dynamic filopodia-like protrusions that are then replaced by relatively stable spines ...

Generalized Dystonia With Cervical Predominance in a Patient With a De Novo TCF20 Variant
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT TCF20 has been implicated in developmental delay and intellectual disability, with dystonia reported less frequently. We describe a woman in her early twenties with childhood‐onset learning difficulties, progressive dysarthria, tremor, and generalized dystonia with marked cervical predominance, associated with a de novo TCF20 frameshift ...
