Exploring Dendritic and Spine Structural Profiles in Epilepsy: Insights From Human Studies and Experimental Animal Models
Epilepsy Curr. 2023 Dec 27;24(1):40-46. doi: 10.1177/15357597231218603. eCollection 2024 Jan-Feb.ABSTRACTDendrites are tree-like structures with tiny spines specialized to receive excitatory synaptic transmission. Spino-dendritic plasticity, driven by neural activity, underlies the maintenance of neuronal connections crucial for proper circuit function. Abnormalities in dendritic morphology are frequently seen in epilepsy. However, the exact etiology or functional implications are not yet known. Therefore, to better comprehend the structure-function significance of this dendritic pathology in epilepsy, it is necessary to i...
