Dendrites of the same neuron usually avoid each other. Some neurons also repel similar
neurons through dendrite-dendrite interaction to tile the receptive field. Nonoverlapping …

Dendrite morphogenesis is a complex but well-orchestrated process and includes the
development of dendritic branches, forming characteristic dendrite arbors, and dendritic …

Proper growth of dendrites is critical to the formation of neuronal circuits, but the cellular
machinery that directs the addition of membrane components to generate dendritic …

The development and structural plasticity of dendritic arbors are governed by several factors,
including synaptic activity, neurotrophins and other growth-regulating molecules. The signal …

Neurons typically function as transduction devices, converting patterns of synaptic inputs,
received on the dendrites, into trains of output action potentials in the axon. This …

Dendrites exhibit a wide range of morphological diversity, and their arborization patterns are
critical determinants of proper neural connectivity. How different neurons acquire their …

Pruning of unnecessary axons and/or dendrites is crucial for maturation of the nervous
system. However, little is known about cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) that control neuronal …

Functionally similar neurons can share common dendrite morphology, but how different
neurons are directed into similar forms is not understood. Here, we show in embryonic and …

Background Proper neuronal function depends on forming three primary subcellular
compartments: axons, dendrites, and soma. Each compartment has a specialized function …

Robust dendrite morphogenesis is a critical step in the development of reproducible neural
circuits. However, little is known about the extracellular cues that pattern complex dendrite …
