Abstract
Dendritic spines are functional protrusions on neuron dendrites and formation of excitatory synaptic sites.Dendritic spines contain a variety of cell surface receptors,actin cytoskeleton,scaffolding proteins and other components,which regulate the growth of dendritic spines maturation and structure.Multiple components within dendritic spines not only have effects on expression of its shape and structure,but also on the function.Morphology of dendritic spines is closely related with its function.Its shape is affected by many factors in the changing process.So dendritic spine plasticity is an important aspect of synaptic function in the central nervous system,and is closely related with learning and memory function and central nervous system diseases. Key words: Dendritic spines; Plasticity; Learning and memory; Aging
