## Abstract Dendrite development is required for establishing proper neuronal connectivity. Rhoβfamily small GTPases have been reported to play important roles in the regulation of dendritic growth and morphology. However, the molecular mechanisms that control the activities of Rho GTPases in devel
## Abstract Neuroserpin is a member of the serpin superfamily that is expressed principally in neurons of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Neuroserpin's spatialβtemporal expression during development and in the adult brain suggests possible roles in synaptogenesis and synaptic plasticity
In central neurons, dendritic differentiation begins well after axonal elongation and is accompanied by the compartmentation of the microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) in the somatodendritic domain. Whether MAP2 plays a role in the morphological and functional maturation of dendrites remains an
## Abstract Dendritic spines are morphing structures believed to provide a cellular substrate for synaptic plasticity. It has been suggested that the actin cytoskeleton is the target of molecular mechanisms regulating spine morphology. Here we hypothesized that acidic calponin, an actinβbinding pro
