Needs discussion of why they are important, what studies have been done (the recent works with two photon microscopy in particular). Discussion of the computational models such as Baer and Rinzel and Spike Diffuse Spike would be good. I might get around to it at some point, but someone else is welcome to go first.

The references are "floating", it is difficult to see what each reference points towards - could anyone remedy this? Also, it would be nice with a description of the developmental causes of the change from one morphology to another.

I don't know anything about the developmental changes from morphologies; I've added that rapid morphological changes occur because of the dynamicity of the F-actin cytoskeleton in my major revamp of the article, and I'm talked about the filopedia maturation into spines...dunno if that answered your question. ^^ Cheers, RR ^[iTalk] 20:29, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
