Dendritic Arbors: A Tale of Living Tiles
What governs the shape and size of a neuron's dendritic arbor? Part of the answer lies in the rules that govern interactions between dendrites. Interesting new insights into these rules have come from two recent studies on the embryonic sensory system of Drosophila.
متن کاملOptimal Sizes of Dendritic and Axonal Arbors
I consider a topographic projection between two neuronal layers with different densities of neurons. Given the number of output neurons connected to each input neuron (divergence or fan-out) and the number of input neurons synapsing on each output neuron (convergence or fan-in) I determine the widths of axonal and dendritic arbors which minimize the total volume ofaxons and dendrites. My analyt...
متن کاملFunctionally relevant measures of spatial complexity in neuronal dendritic arbors.
We introduce a set of scaling exponents for characterizing global 3D morphologic properties of mass distribution, branching and taper in neuronal dendritic arbors, capable of distinguishing functionally relevant changes in dendritic complexity that standard Sholl analysis and fractal analysis cannot. We demonstrate that the scaling exponent for mass distribution, d(M), comprises a sum of indepe...
متن کاملSUMOylation of the MAGUK protein CASK regulates dendritic spinogenesis
Membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) proteins interact with several synaptogenesis-triggering adhesion molecules. However, direct evidence for the involvement of MAGUK proteins in synapse formation is lacking. In this study, we investigate the function of calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine protein kinase (CASK), a MAGUK protein, in dendritic spine formation by RNA interference. Knockdo...
متن کاملAdolescent cocaine exposure simplifies orbitofrontal cortical dendritic arbors
Cocaine and amphetamine remodel dendritic spines within discrete cortico-limbic brain structures including the orbitofrontal cortex (oPFC). Whether dendrite structure is similarly affected, and whether pre-existing cellular characteristics influence behavioral vulnerabilities to drugs of abuse, remain unclear. Animal models provide an ideal venue to address these issues because neurobehavioral ...
