Sex differences in the function of the hippocampus have been observed in numerous
mammalian species. However, the magnitude, extent, and specificity of these differences are …

Proper growth and branching of dendrites are crucial for nervous system function; patterns of
dendritic arborization determine the nature and amount of innervation that a neuron receives …

Enlargement of dendritic spines and synapses correlates with enhanced synaptic strength
during long‐term potentiation (LTP), especially in immature hippocampal neurons. Less …

The glutamate system is involved in many aspects of neuronal synaptic strength and
function during development and throughout life. Synapse formation in early brain …

Beneficial effects of cannabidiol (CBD) have been described for a wide range of psychiatric
disorders, including anxiety, psychosis, and depression. The mechanisms responsible for …

Spinophilin, a protein that interacts with actin and protein phosphatase-1, is highly enriched
in dendritic spines. Here, through the use of spinophilin knockout mice, we provide evidence …

Most excitatory inputs in the mammalian brain are made on dendritic spines, rather than on
dendritic shafts. Spines compartmentalize calcium, and this biochemical isolation can …

In neurons, lysosomes, which degrade membrane and cytoplasmic components, are thought
to primarily reside in somatic and axonal compartments, but there is little understanding of …

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a morphologically and functionally diverse organelle
capable of integrating multiple extracellular and internal signals and generating adaptive …

Throughout the history of neuroscience, dendritic spines have been considered stable
structures, but in recent years, imaging techniques have revealed that spines are constantly …
