Abstract

Two recent studies by Sheng and associates (Pak et al., 2001; Sala et al., 2001) provide an elegant molecular analysis of the role of a spine-specific protein, SPAR, and the synaptic proteins Shank and Homer, in regulating dendritic spine morphology, and the possible functional consequences of this regulation.
