Plasticity of Spine Structure: Local Signaling, Translation and Cytoskeletal Reorganization
Dendritic spines are small protrusive structures on dendritic surfaces, and function as postsynaptic compartments for excitatory synapses. Plasticity of spine structure is associated with many forms of long-term neuronal plasticity, learning and memory. Inside these small dendritic compartments, bio...
