Changes in the organization of dendritic spines after attacks. Examples of attacks on spines in a representative dendrite at (A) random locations or in clusters of (D) 3 and (G) 5 spines. (B,E,H) Percentage change in the characteristic community extension (CCE) as a function of the number of removed spines in the three cases, respectively. CCE in the attacked vs. the non-attacked dendrites after the removal of 150 spines in groups of (C) 1, (F) 3 and (I) 5. The grey line shows the theoretical line of no change in the CCE, while the black line is the line that best fits the observed attack data. The values obtained after each attack can also be found in Supplementary Table S4. Means and standard deviations are computed over 100 random attacks.
