Investigating sub-spine actin dynamics in rat hippocampal neurons with super-resolution optical imaging.
Morphological changes in dendritic spines represent an important mechanism for synaptic plasticity which is postulated to underlie the vital cognitive phenomena of learning and memory. These morphological changes are driven by the dynamic actin cytoskeleton that is present in dendritic spines. The s...
