Structural plasticity of dendritic spines

Publication year: 2011 Source: Current Opinion in Neurobiology, Available online 28 September 2011 Miquel Bosch, Yasunori Hayashi 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
