Super resolution microscopy is poised to reveal new insights into the formation and maturation of dendritic spines [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

Dendritic spines and synapses are critical for neuronal communication, and they are perturbed in many neurological disorders; however, the study of these structures in living cells has been hindered by their small size. Super resolution microscopy, unlike conventional light microscopy, is diffractio...
