Preferential termination of corticorubral axons on spine-like dendritic protrusions in developing cat.
The formation of synaptic contacts is a crucial event during neural development and is thought to be achieved by complex interactions between incoming axons and the neurons in the target. We have focused on spine-like dendritic protrusions (SLDPs), which are transient pleomorphic protrusive structures seen in developing brains. Although the functional significance of SLDPs remains unknown, accu...
متن کاملPreferential Control of Basal Dendritic Protrusions by EphB2
The flow of information between neurons in many neural circuits is controlled by a highly specialized site of cell-cell contact known as a synapse. A number of molecules have been identified that are involved in central nervous system synapse development, but knowledge is limited regarding whether these cues direct organization of specific synapse types or on particular regions of individual ne...
متن کاملPolarization of actin cytoskeleton is reduced in dendritic protrusions during early spine development in hippocampal neuron
Dendritic spines are small protrusions that receive synaptic signals in neuronal networks. The actin cytoskeleton plays a key role in regulating spine morphogenesis, as well as in the function of synapses. Here we report the first quantitative measurement of F-actin retrograde flow rate in dendritic filopodia, the precursor of dendritic spines, and in newly formed spines, using a technique base...
متن کاملMatrix Metalloproteinases Regulate the Formation of Dendritic Spine Head Protrusions during Chemically Induced Long-Term Potentiation
Dendritic spines are are small membranous protrusions that extend from neuronal dendrites and harbor the majority of excitatory synapses. Increasing evidence has shown that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a family of extracellularly acting and Zn(2+)-dependent endopeptidases, are able to rapidly modulate dendritic spine morphology. Spine head protrusions (SHPs) are filopodia-like processes th...
متن کاملNormalization of dendritic spine numbers in rat hippocampus after termination of phenylacetate injections (PKU model).
Increased numbers of apical dendritic spines are present on hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells in rats injected with phenylacetate from 2 to 21 days of life if animals are sacrificed at 20-30 days. However, if sacrificed at 60-90 days, spine counts are not significantly different from saline injected controls. These results suggest that this increased spine density at 3-4 weeks represents retardat...
