摘要
Dendritic spines, which are present at the vast majority of excitatory synapses in the central nervous system, have a specialized cytoskeleton of dynamic actin filaments that makes them capable of rapid morphological plasticity. During development, structural remodeling of nascent spines is an important factor in experience-dependent shaping of neuronal circuits, whereas in the adult brain spines maintain a balance between morphological stability and plasticity.
