New paper: Adult-born neurons undergo extended morphological development

!!UPDATE!! This paper is now published at the Journal of Neuroscience and you can also find it here. Congratulations to John Darby Cole and Delane Espinueva, two former undergraduate students who led an incredibly detailed study of the morphological development of adult-born neurons. You might read this and think, hasn’t…

Spatial learning sculpts the dendritic arbor of adult-born hippocampal neurons

Dendrites are the extensions of neurons that receive incoming information. Neurons have primary dendrites that further split off into secondary and tertiary dendritic branches. On each of these branches are thousands of synaptic connections with axons of neurons carrying incoming information. The result is a dendritic tree that is capable of receiving…
