Dendrite morphology is pivotal for neural circuitry functioning. While the causative
relationship between small-scale dendrite morphological abnormalities (shape, density of …

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

The structure of neuronal circuits that subserve cognitive functions in the brain is shaped
and refined throughout development and into adulthood. Evidence from human and animal …

Highlights•A switch from radial migration to dendrite initiation is regulated by local
cues.•Dendrites can select backup synaptic partners when their first choice is missing.•Some …

The proper formation and morphogenesis of dendrites is fundamental to the establishment
of neural circuits in the brain. Following cell cycle exit and migration, neurons undergo …

The nervous system is populated by diverse types of neurons, each of which has dendritic
trees with strikingly different morphologies. These neuron-specific morphologies determine …

Dendritic spines are the sites of the majority of excitatory connections within the brain, and
form the post-synaptic compartment of synapses. These structures are rich in actin and have …

Schizophrenia is a chronic illness affecting approximately 0.5–1% of the world's population.
The etiology of schizophrenia is complex, including multiple genes, and contributing …

In the developing brain, dendrite branches and dendritic spines form and turn over
dynamically. By contrast, most dendrite arbors and dendritic spines in the adult brain are …

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 …
