Microscopy images showing dendrites and dendritic spines (IMAGE)
Caption
Microscopy images showing dendrites, the rod-like branches of brain cells, with tiny protrusions called dendritic spines that are critical for memory and learning. Normal mice show similar spine density with (bottom left) and without KD025 treatment (top left). In mice carrying schizophrenia-associated gene variants, the tiny protrusions are visibly reduced without treatment (top right) but restored after KD025 treatment (bottom right). Scale bar: 5 μm.
