Abstract
The shape of dendritic spines in mouse Sm1 cortex, which synapse with degenerating thalamocortical axon terminals, differs significantly from that of adjacent spines along the same spiny dendrites, which synapse with intact axon terminals. It is concluded that this morphological difference results from focal alterations in the heads of spines imposed by the degeneration of their presynaptic afferents.
