A schematic of a neuronal dendrite with a long, narrow-necked spine bearing a small head, characteristic of the thin spine morphology. In the cellular hierarchy, the spine is a subcellular protrusion from the dendritic shaft of a neuron within the central nervous system (CNS). In neuroanatomy and synaptic physiology, this structure receives excitatory glutamatergic input, housing a postsynaptic density (PSD) in the head and compartmentalizing Ca2+ to support synaptic transmission and plasticity.
