Dendritic spines are small protrusions of dendrites that are critical for synaptic transmission. The plasticity and stability of dendritic spines is tightly linked to actin cytoskeleton. However, our understanding of specific properties and the fine-tuning of neuronal actin structures is incomplete. Drebrin A is highly enriched in dendritic spines, but its effects on actin morphology, dynamics, and interplay with other actin regulators are yet to be clarified. Here we review recent advances in understanding drebrin effects on actin morphology and dynamics.
