Reproducing asymmetrical spine shape fluctuations in a model of actin dynamics predicts self-organized criticality

Abstract Dendritic spines change their size and shape spontaneously, but the function of this remains unclear. Here, we address this in a biophysical model of spine fluctuations, which reproduces experimentally measured spine fluctuations. For this, we characterize size- and shape fluctuations from...
