Autophagy Impacts Dendritic Spines Differently in Proximal and Distal Dendrites of Hippocampus CA1 Neurons.

Autophagy is a cellular protein degradation mechanism essential for neuronal function. Recent work has begun to implicate autophagy in cellular functions beyond preserving homeostasis, such as synaptic plasticity and the regulation of dendritic spine…
