The role of filopodia in the formation of spine synapses
In the mammalian brain, excitatory (glutamatergic) synapses are mainly located on dendritic spines; bulbous protrusions enriched with F-actin. Dendritic filopodia are thin protrusions thought to be involved in the development of spines. However, limited evidence illustrating the emergence of spines...
