• mice injected with adenoviruses (AAV) expressing TRE-cre and SYN-DIO-GFP-IRES-tTA in the barrel cortex to induce expression of cre and GFP in a small population of L4 cortical neurons, show a shift towards an immature dendritic spine morphology, with reduced mature mushroom-type spines and increased immature filopodia-type protrusions
• mice injected with AAV-TRE-cre and AAV-SYN-DIO-GFP-IRES-tTA in the barrel cortex to induce expression of cre and GFP in a wide population of L4 cortical neurons, show a strong reduction in the number of spine apparatus-bearing spines; the fraction of mushroom-type dendritic spines that contain spinus apparatus is halved compared to controls
