nervous system
• after photobleaching, actin filament turnover in the dendritic spines of CA1 pyramidal neurons transfected with GFP-cre adenovirus is retarded compared to in control cells
• however, basal levels of actin is normal
|
• neurons infected with GFP-cre completely lack the sustained phase of structural plasticity in spines compared with controls
• however, activity-dependent spine shrinkage is normal in cre-treated neurons
