• The Addicted Synapse: Mechanisms of Synaptic and Structural Plasticity in Nucleus Accumbens (2010, background): “It is believed that stabilization of a transient, immature spine into a more permanent, functional spine occurs through an activity-dependent mechanism (reviewed in [26]).”
• Balancing structure and function at hippocampal dendritic spines. (2008, background): “The actin cytoskeleton is regulated by actin-binding proteins (Ethell & Pasquale 2005, Tada & Sheng 2006).”
• Rare de novo variants associated with autism implicate a large functional network of genes involved in formation and function of synapses (2011, background): “The excitatory synaptic connections are formed between axons and dendritic spines, which are complex and dynamic postsynaptic structures containing thousands of different proteins (Alvarez and Sabatini, 2007; Tada and Sheng, 2006).”
• Experience-dependent structural synaptic plasticity in the mammalian brain (2009, background): “However, it is likely that numerous other cell-autonomous and secreted molecules also contribute to guide new spine growt”
• Branching out: mechanisms of dendritic arborization (2010, background): “RHOA has opposing effects to the small GTPases RAS-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 ( RAC1 ) and CDC42 in controlling the growth and stability of actin-rich spines in mammalian neuron”
• Actin in dendritic spines: connecting dynamics to function (2010, background): “…on postsynaptic signaling pathways demonstrated that the actin cytoskeleton plays a pivotal role in the formation and elimina tion, motility and stability, and size and shape of dendritic spines (Halpain, 2000; Luo, 2002; Ethell and Pasquale, 2005; Tada and Sheng, 2006; Schubert and Dotti, 2007).”
