The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The role of the Rho GTPases in neuronal development. (2005, background): “Thus extreme RhoA activation appears to regulate the actin cytoskeleton in such a way that growth-promoting signals are antagonized or overridden (Yu and Malenka 2003).”
Stability of dendritic spines and synaptic contacts is controlled by αN-catenin (2004, background): “Recent studies show that overexpression of not only β-catenin or N-cadherin, but also that of αN-catenin in hippocampal neurons enhanced their dendritic arborizatio”
L-Measure: a web-accessible tool for the analysis, comparison and search of digital reconstructions of neuronal morphologies (2008, background): “For example, it was shown that the number of dendritic terminal tips and total dendritic length were both regulated by the β-catenin complex during morphogenesi”
