Dendrites serve a critical role in neuronal information processing as sites of synaptic
integration. The morphological diversity of dendritic architecture reflects specialized …

The dendritic arbors of neurons are organized into unique spatial patterns that are well
suited for their specific functions. Although the intracellular signaling pathways that …

Neuronal activity can have profound effects on dendrite morphology in the developing brain.
The effects of neuronal activity on dendritic morphology are mediated by calcium signaling …

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 …

One of the most remarkable features of the developing brain is its ability to undergo
structural change in response to experience. Among the cellular elements that show this …

Changes in the intracellular concentration of calcium ions in neurons are involved in neurite
growth, development, and remodeling, regulation of neuronal excitability, increases and …

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 …

▪ 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 …

Calcium (Ca2+) is a ubiquitous signaling molecule that accumulates in the cytoplasm in
response to diverse classes of stimuli and, in turn, regulates many aspects of cell function. In …

In vivo studies indicate that synaptic activity promotes dendritic arbor elaboration at early
stages of brain development. At later stages of development, synaptic activity stabilizes …
