Abstract
Dendritic regulation cover the surface of a wide variety of neuronal types and are the postsynaptic sites of approximately 90% of the excitatory synapses formed in the central nervous system. Interestingly, changes in the morphology and/or density of dendritic spines have been shown to occur naturally, implying that they are a normal part of brain function. Even in the adult, dendritic spines are remarkably plastic. The hormonal state of an animal has been shown to be an important factor in regulation of dendritic spine density, both during development and in the adult. A study on the hormonal regulation of adult hippocampal dendritic spine density is presented in the paper.
