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

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 …

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 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 …

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 …

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 …

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

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 …

In a complex nervous system, neuronal functional diversity is reflected in the wide variety of
dendritic arbor shapes. Different neuronal classes are defined by class-specific transcription …

The integrative properties of dendrites are determined by a complex mixture of factors,
including their morphology, the spatio-temporal patterning of synaptic inputs, the balance of …
