Studies in human patients and animal models of disease suggest a
strong correlation between defects in dendrite development and
common neurological disorders such as autism. Much of this book is
thus dedicated toward highlighting recent advances in our
understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms that
regulate the development and maintenance of dendrites, a crucial
component of neurons. The book begins by presenting the current
state of knowledge on the building blocks or cell biology of
dendrites. Mechanisms that sculpt the stereotypic architecture of
dendritic arbors and shape their connectivity are also discussed,
along with recent work describing how dendritic organization and
connectivity are perturbed in disease. A unique aspect of the book
is its exploration of diverse neuronal cell types across
vertebrates and invertebrates, allowing a comparison of mechanisms
across distinct circuits and species. The book comprises six parts,
which cover the major advances in the field: Part 1, Introduction;
Part 2, Basic Biology of Dendrites; Part 3, Patterning Dendritic
Architecture of Neurons and Their Populations; Part 4, Cellular and
Molecular Control of Dendrite Development and Maintenance; Part 5,
Synapse Formation onto Dendrites; and Part 6, Dendrites in Disease.
The book offers an excellent point of entry for students interested
in neuroscience, as well as for clinicians.
