A stylized schematic depicts a neuronal dendrite with multiple mushroom-shaped dendritic spines extending laterally. In biological hierarchy, each spine is a subcellular protrusion on a dendrite of a neuron (cell) within nervous tissue of the central nervous system (CNS). In neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, these spines serve as the primary postsynaptic sites for excitatory glutamatergic synapses and support synaptic integration and plasticity, including long-term potentiation (LTP). The illustration emphasizes the bulbous spine heads connected by narrow necks to the dendritic shaft.
