The BDNF effects on dendritic spines of mature hippocampal neurons depend on neuronal activity

The BDNF effects on dendritic spines of mature hippocampal neurons depend on neuronal activity

The fine tuning of neural networks during development and learning relies upon both functional and structural plastic processes. Changes in the number as well as in the size and shape of dendritic spines are associated to long-term activity-dependent synaptic plasticity. However, the molecular mecha...
