It seems likely that multiple signaling pathways, some involving kinases, function cooperatively to define precise sites of synapse formation between axons and dendrites, and to determine ...

Synapses are subcellular microcompartments ... Do topologically organized chemical gradients exist inside dendrites, and do they play a significant role in modulating synaptic information processing?

Spiny protrusions along the dendrites form the synapses that connect pyramidal neurons to other cells. Yaeger's experiments ...

Each dendrite on a neuron is covered with tiny bulbous appendages, called dendritic spines, and at the end of each dendritic spine is the synapse—a tiny space where the two cells meet ...
