Dendritic Spine Initiation in Brain Development, Learning and Diseases and Impact of BAR-Domain Proteins
Dendritic spines are small, bulbous protrusions along neuronal dendrites where most of the excitatory synapses are located. Dendritic spine density in normal human brain increases rapidly before and after birth achieving the highest density around 2–8 years. Density decreases during adolescence, rea...
