Myosin IIB Activity and Phosphorylation Status Determines Dendritic Spine and Post-Synaptic Density Morphology

Dendritic spines in hippocampal neurons mature from a filopodia-like precursor into a mushroom-shape with an enlarged post-synaptic density (PSD) and serve as the primary post-synaptic location of the excitatory neurotransmission that underlies learning and memory. Using myosin II regulatory mutants...
