Molecular mechanisms of dendrite morphogenesis

J Arikkath - Frontiers in cellular neuroscience, 2012 - frontiersin.org
Dendrites are key integrators of synaptic information in neurons and play vital roles in
neuronal plasticity. Hence, it is necessary that dendrite arborization is precisely controlled …

Mechanisms that regulate establishment, maintenance, and remodeling of dendritic fields

JZ Parrish, K Emoto, MD Kim, YN Jan - Annu. Rev. Neurosci., 2007 - annualreviews.org

determinants of neuronal function, how dendritic arbors take shape is still largely unknown …

Development of dendritic form and function

JL Lefebvre, JR Sanes, JN Kay - Annual review of cell and …, 2015 - annualreviews.org
The nervous system is populated by numerous types of neurons, each bearing a dendritic
arbor with a characteristic morphology. These type-specific features influence many aspects …

The control of dendrite development

YN Jan, LY Jan - Neuron, 2003 - cell.com
Dendrite development is an important and unsolved problem in neuroscience. The nervous

neuron needs to be properly guided to make synapses with the correct targets, which are …

Genes regulating dendritic outgrowth, branching, and routing in Drosophila

FB Gao, JE Brenman, LY Jan, YN Jan - Genes & development, 1999 - genesdev.cshlp.org
Signaling between neurons requires highly specialized subcellular structures, including
dendrites and axons. Dendrites exhibit diverse morphologies yet little is known about the …
