Summary

Description
English: Geometric characteristics of dendritic spines allow for objective identification. (A) Common dendritic spines types found in the cortex. Spine maturity progresses (from left to right) from long, thin filopodia type structures (red) to wide-headed mushroom spines (blue) and the occasional branched spine (purple). Geometric characteristics of spines, listed below each type, are incorporated into the rapid spine analysis method. (B) Golgi-cox stained secondary dendritic branch of a Layer II/III pyramidal neuron in mouse primary visual cortex. Different spine types are indicated by arrowheads, color-coded to match A. Scale bar, 5 µm.
