Signaling in dendritic spines and spine microdomains [PDF]
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2012 The specialized morphology of dendritic spines creates an isolated compartment that allows for localized biochemical signaling. Recent studies have revealed complexity in the function of the spine head as a signaling domain and indicate that (1) the spine is functionally subdivided into multiple independent microdomains and (2) not all biochemical ...

A strong law of large numbers for branching processes: almost sure spine events [PDF]
, 2013 We demonstrate a novel strong law of large numbers for branching processes, with a simple proof via measure-theoretic manipulations and spine theory. Roughly speaking, any sequence of events that eventually occurs almost surely for the spine entails the ...
