Explain what dendritic spines, sprouting, branching, and arborization are and how these concepts relate to synapses. Then, draw a picture that you could share that demonstrates these concepts and that will help understand it by others. Be sure to label the neurons’ other relevant structures, as well. Insert your drawing below.
The dendritic spines typically receives input from a single axon at the synapse. Dendritic sprouting demonstrated the dendritic shape and as well as it's synaptic connectivity, while the dendritic branching or (arborization) create new synapses.
