Dendritic spines are tiny protrusions on neurons that receive input from other cells. Their size is a direct physical indicator of —larger spines generally correlate with stronger connections. This report examines how these structures change size (structural plasticity), which is a fundamental process underlying learning and memory. 2. Key Findings
Changes in spine size are closely linked to LTP, a process that strengthens synapses over time.
