Snap-Freezing Reveals a Truer Structure of Brain Connections Snap-Freezing Reveals a Truer Structure of Brain Connections Source: EPFL Most synaptic connections in the adult brain are situated on dendritic spines; small, micrometer-long, protrusions extending from the neurons’ surface. The spines’ exact size and shape determine how well signals are passed from one neuron to another. These details become very important when neuroscientists want to model brain circuits or understand how information is transmitted between neurons across the brain’s neuronal circuits. However, their small s...
