Control of dendritic diversity.
The dendritic trees of different neuronal types display an astonishing diversity in structure and function. How this diversity is generated remains incompletely understood. However, recent studies have revealed some of the underlying mechanisms by which intrinsic programs of cell-type specification and extrinsic factors exert their effects on the dendritic cytoskeleton to regulate patterns of growth and branching.
