Super resolution microscopy is poised to reveal new insights into the formation and maturation of dendritic spines [version 1; referees: 2 approved]
Dendritic spines and synapses are critical for neuronal communication, and they are perturbed in many neurological disorders; however, the study of these structures in living cells has been hindered by their small size.Super resolution microscopy, unlike conventional light microscopy, is diffraction unlimited and thus is well suited for imaging sma
