Achieving functional neuronal dendrite structure through sequential stochastic growth and retraction

Achieving functional neuronal dendrite structure through sequential stochastic growth and retraction

Class I ventral posterior dendritic arborisation (c1vpda) proprioceptive sensory neurons respond to contractions in the Drosophila larval body wall during crawling. Their dendritic branches run along the direction of contraction, possibly a functional requirement to maximise membrane curvature durin...
