Dendritic shaft constrictions shape synaptic integration in neurons

Using multiple high-resolution imaging techniques, it is demonstrated that dendrites in cortical and hippocampal neurons exhibit nanoscale constrictions, termed dendritic shaft constrictions (DSCs), with diameters ranging from ∼100 to 500 nanometers in mice, and identified DSCs in human hippocampal and cortical neurons...
