Question- How are dendritic spines like lie detectors?

Answer- As the morphology of dendritic spines is highly variable, a sufficient sampling size is essential for statistical analysis. With light or epifluorescent microscopy, the dendrite may obscure spines that lie above or below the visual plane, such that only spines extending laterally can be accurately counted.

I hope that this helps you understand :)

Have a wonderful day!
