Taken from large layer V pyramidal neuron in the M1. Scale bar, 10 µm. For the precise criteria on spine type classification, see the Methods.
Five types of dendritic spines. (a) Schematic drawings of five spine types. (b) Typical examples of thin (T)-, stubby (S)-, and mushroom (M)-type spines. Arrows represent the length of a thin-type spine, and the width of a stubby- and a mushroom-type spine. Scale bar, 1 µm. (c) Thin (T)-, stubby (S)-, and mushroom (M)-type spines distributed on a single basal dendrite.
