Dendritic tree morphology is a hallmark of cellular diversity in the nervous system, and
Drosophila dendritic arborization (da) neurons provide an excellent model system to study …

Backgound: Understanding how dendrites establish their territory is central to elucidating
how neuronal circuits are built. Signaling between dendrites is thought to be important for …

During neuronal maturation, dendrites develop from immature neurites into mature arbors. In
response to changes in the environment, dendrites from certain mature neurons can …

The diversity of neuronal cells, especially in the size and shape of their dendritic and axonal
arborizations, is a striking feature of the mature nervous system. Dendritic branching is a …

Neurons elaborate dendrites with stereotypic branching patterns, thereby defining their
receptive fields. These branching patterns may arise from properties intrinsic to the neurons …

Regressive events that refine exuberant or inaccurate connections are critical in neuronal
development. We used multi-photon, time-lapse imaging to examine how dendrites of …

Little is known about how the distinct architectures of dendrites and axons are established.
From a genetic screen, we isolated dendritic arbor reduction (dar) mutants with reduced …

Drosophila dendritic arborization (da) neurons contain subclasses of neurons with distinct
dendritic morphologies. We investigated calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II …

The conventional view of dendritic function is that dendrites collect synaptic input and deliver
it to the soma. This view has been challenged in recent years by new results demonstrating …

In vivo time-lapse multiphoton microscopy was used to analyze the remodeling of the
dendritic arborizing (da) sensory neuron known as dorsal dendritic arborizing neuron E …
