Abstract
En 中文
Neuronal size varies across evolution, diseases, and brain regions. It has long been regarded as a descriptor, not a driver of function. Using triploid Xenopus, Liu et al. show that neuronal enlargement remodels neurite geometry, reduces proliferation, increases phospho-extracellular signal regulated kinase (pERK) responses, and alters behavior, linking cellular scaling to brain function.
