Recent technical advances have made possible the visualization and genetic manipulation
of individual dendritic trees. These studies have led to the identification and characterization …

The complex, branched morphology of dendrites is a cardinal feature of neurons and has
been used as a criterion for cell type identification since the beginning of neurobiology …

Synapse formation involves two partners, axons and dendrites. The axon of a presynaptic
neuron needs to be properly guided to make synapses with the correct targets, which are …

Proper growth and branching of dendrites are crucial for nervous system function; patterns of
dendritic arborization determine the nature and amount of innervation that a neuron receives …

Dendrite development is an important and unsolved problem in neuroscience. The nervous
system is composed of a vast number of neurons with strikingly different morphology …

Although dendrite arborization patterns are hallmarks of neuronal type and critical
determinants of neuronal function, how dendritic arbors take shape is still largely unknown …

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 …

▪ Abstract Dendritic morphology has a profound impact on neuronal information processing.
The overall extent and orientation of dendrites determines the kinds of input a neuron …

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 …

Proper development of dendrites is essential for the establishment of neuronal circuitry. The
elaboration of the dendritic tree is a highly dynamic and regulated process, which involves …
