Before revision:  We expect this work to motivate future directions to embrace network theory as a tool to analyze experimentsas well as to establish a quantitative understanding of the role of dendritic spine growth in synaptic plasticity .
After revision:  We expect this work to motivate future directions to embrace network theory as a tool to characterize complex morphologies of actomyosin detected by experiments, leading to a quantitative understanding of the role of dendritic spine growth in synaptic plasticity .
