PGC-1α regulates mitochondrial biogenesis and spine growth. Its activity is based on the interaction with NRF that activates to TFAM. This complex regulates mitochondrial gene expression and addresses the requirements of neuronal energy when needed for dendrite activity or growth. PGC-1α expression is regulated by different intracellular signaling pathways, as explained in the text.
