Neurons can extend branches from a single axon to send signals to multiple target cells. Axonal arbor morphology must be changed to establish and alternate neuronal wiring properly. For this purpose, the elongation and retraction rate of each terminal in a single axonal arbor are differentially regulated.
Why is dendritic Arborization important?
The pattern of dendritic arborization is critical because it determines the synaptic input field of the dendrite. … For example, the CA1 neurons in the hippocampus receive their input at the apical tuft dendrites from the entorhinal cortex, while the basal dendrites receive their input from the CA3 neurons.
What is dendritic growth in humans?
Cells with shrunken dendritic trees were found in all brains. These data suggest a model of aging in the central nervous system in which one population of neurons dies and regresses and the other survives and grows. The latter appears to be the dominant population in aging without dementia.
