Proteins That Promote Filopodia Stability, but Not Number, Lead to More Axonal-Dendritic Contacts

Dendritic filopodia are dynamic protrusions that are thought to play an active role in synaptogenesis and serve as precursors to spine synapses. However, this hypothesis is largely based on a temporal correlation between filopodia formation and synaptogenesis. We investigated the role of filopodia i...
