Dendritic spines are tiny protrusions on neurons that receive input from other cells. Their size is a direct physical indicator of —larger spines generally correlate with stronger connections. This report examines how these structures change size (structural plasticity), which is a fundamental process underlying learning and memory. 2. Key Findings

Changes in spine size are closely linked to LTP, a process that strengthens synapses over time. Download 91566

The research highlights how the spine's physical volume adapts in response to neural activity, specifically focusing on the biochemical signaling that triggers these expansions. 3. Significance Dendritic spines are tiny protrusions on neurons that
