Rho GTPase-dependent plasticity of dendritic spines in the adult brain

Rho GTPase-dependent plasticity of dendritic spines in the adult brain

Brain activity is associated with structural changes in the neural connections. However, in vivo imaging of the outer cortical layers has shown that dendritic spines, on which most excitatory synapses insist, are predominantly stable in adulthood. Changes in dendritic spines are governed by small GT...
