Neurons are one of the most morphologically diverse cell types, in large part owing to their
intricate dendrite branching patterns. Dendrites are structures that are specialized to receive …

Type-specific dendrite morphology is a hallmark of the neuron and has important functional
implications in determining what signals a neuron receives and how these signals are …

How the dendritic branching patterns of different neurons are specified is a fascinating
question in developmental neurobiology. This question can now be addressed in detail in …

Dendrites show remarkable diversity in morphology and function, but the mechanisms that
produce the characteristic forms is poorly understood. Insect systems offer a unique …

Dendrite arborization patterns are critical determinants of neuronal function. To explore the
basis of transcriptional regulation in dendrite pattern formation, we used RNA interference …

Little has been understood about the underlying mechanisms that generate the
morphological diversity of dendritic trees. Dendritic arborization neurons in Drosophila …

Neurons establish diverse dendritic morphologies during development, and a major
challenge is to understand how these distinct developmental programs might relate to, and …

Dendrites represent arborising neurites in both vertebrates and invertebrates. However, in
vertebrates, dendrites develop on neuronal cell bodies, whereas in higher invertebrates …

Vertebrate and invertebrate dendrites are information-processing compartments that can be
found on both central and peripheral neurons. Elucidating the molecular underpinnings of …

The directional flow of information in neurons depends on compartmentalization: dendrites
receive inputs whereas axons transmit them. Axons and dendrites likewise contain …
