A simplified schematic depicts a mushroom-shaped dendritic spine protruding from a neuronal dendrite, showing a bulbous spine head connected by a narrow neck to the dendritic shaft. In the biological hierarchy, this is a subcellular compartment of a neuron within the central nervous system (CNS). In neuroanatomy and synaptic physiology, such spines host excitatory glutamatergic synapses, contain the postsynaptic density (PSD), compartmentalize calcium (Ca2+), and support synaptic signaling and plasticity, including long-term potentiation (LTP).
