Description: According to Bourne and Harris (2007), long-term potentiation may convert thin spines into mushroom-shaped spines. (a) Colorized photomicrograph. Dendrite shafts are yellow, spine necks are blue, spine heads are green, and presynaptic terminals are orange. (b) Three-dimensional reconstruction of a portion of a dendrite (yellow) showing the variation in size and shape of postsynaptic densities (red). (From Bourne, J., and Harris, K. M.
