Dendritic Arbor Development
(Neurolucida)

One factor that makes a neuron uniquely suited for a particular function is its morphology. The nature of the dendritic arbor affects the connectivity and electrical properties of the neuron, and arbor abnormalities are associated with neurological diseases. Many classification schemes have been based on neuronal morphology, but a recent article demonstrates a mechanism by which different classes of dendritic arbors arise.
