The paper investigates the structural and functional roles of dendritic spines in cortical circuits, showing they support neuronal ensembles through specific connectivity patterns and synaptic organization.

This study shows that spine-neck resistance in cortical pyramidal neurons affects temporal precision and inhibitory gating through biophysical modeling and connectomics analysis.

The paper shows that dendrites have nanoscale constrictions that create electrical compartments, altering synaptic integration in neurons.

The paper investigates spike transmission failures in axons of mouse cortical pyramidal neurons in vivo, finding that spike failures occur in branches depending on geometry and frequency.

The paper analyzes 3D spine morphology in human and mouse neurons to show a morphological continuum, species differences, and age-related changes in spine size.

The paper analyzes dendritic spine morphology using electron microscopy and computer vision, finding that spine shapes form a continuum rather than distinct categories.

This study improves interneuron classification by using axonal tree morphology and activity patterns, showing better classification than dendritic tree methods.
