Dendritic spines are the postsynaptic compartment of a neuronal synapse and critical for synaptic connectivity plasticity. A developmental precursor to dendritic spines, filopodia (DF), facilitate formation by sampling environment suitable axon partners during neurodevelopment learning. Despite significance actin cytoskeleton in driving these dynamic protrusions, elongation factors involved not well characterized. We identified Ena/VASP protein EVL as uniquely required morphogenesis dynamics...
