Neuromorphic Engineering
Dendritic spines are small, protruding structures found on the dendrites of neurons that serve as the primary sites for synaptic connections. These spines play a critical role in synaptic plasticity, which is essential for learning and memory, by allowing the modulation of synaptic strength and facilitating the communication between neurons. The formation and alteration of dendritic spines are key mechanisms through which experiences can lead to lasting changes in neuronal circuits.
congrats on reading the definition of Dendritic Spines. now let's actually learn it.
