Cytoskeletal microdifferentiation: a mechanism for organizing morphological plasticity in dendrites.
Experimental evidence suggests that microfilaments and microtubules play contrasting roles in regulating the balance between motility and stability in neuronal structures. Actin-containing microfilaments are associated with structural plasticity, both during development when their dynamic activity drives the exploratory activity of growth cones and after circuit formation when the actin-rich de...
متن کاملSelf-organizing Mechanism for Development of Space-filling Neuronal Dendrites
Neurons develop distinctive dendritic morphologies to receive and process information. Previous experiments showed that competitive dendro-dendritic interactions play critical roles in shaping dendrites of the space-filling type, which uniformly cover their receptive field. We incorporated this finding in constructing a new mathematical model, in which reaction dynamics of two chemicals (activa...
متن کاملMorphological homeostasis in cortical dendrites.
Neurons have significant potential for the homeostatic regulation of a broad range of functional features, from gene expression to synaptic excitability. In this article, we show that dendritic morphology may also be under intrinsic homeostatic control. We present the results from a statistical analysis of a large collection of digitally reconstructed neurons, demonstrating that fluctuations in...
متن کاملSelf-Organizing Visual Cortex Model using Homeostatic Plasticity Mechanism
Homeostatic plasticity is regulatory mechanism that modulates both synaptic connections and intrinsic properties of individual neuron in order to maintain stability of neuronal activity. This type of plasticity is considered to be an important complement to Hebbian plasticity, especially during learning and development process of nervous system. In this project, the role of homeostatic plastici...
متن کاملSynaptic plasticity: Regulated translation in dendrites
Synaptic activity can induce neurons to synthesize proteins important for cognition and brain development. Recent results suggest this activity-induced protein synthesis is partially mediated by regulated translation within neuronal dendrites.
