In the adult brain, drebrin is mainly localized in dendritic spines, but in some nuclei, drebrin can be detected in neuronal somata as well as dendritic spines. The fact that the developmental changes in drebrin expression highly correlate in time with the sensitive period of visual cortical plasticity in kittens suggests that synaptic plasticity depends on drebrin. | Localization of Drebrin: Light Microscopy Study.
