What 3 factors control dendrite growth? Provide examples for each type.
a. Neural activity: Examples include learning new skills or information, practicing a musical instrument, or engaging in new experiences.
b. Genetic factors: Examples include specific genes that regulate dendrite growth and development, or mutations that affect dendritic arborization.
c. Neurotrophic factors: Examples include brainderived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), nerve growth factor (NGF), or other growth factors that promote dendritic growth.
d. Environmental influences: Examples include exposure to toxins or stress, social interactions or support, or overall physical health and nutrition.
