thereby enhancing the probability that synaptic plasticity will occur. This form of homeostasis, unlike classic synaptic scaling, produces qualitative as well as quantitative changes in synaptic ...
Synaptic plasticity is the biological process by which specific patterns of synaptic activity result in changes in synaptic strength and is thought to contribute to learning and memory.
Development of neuronal circuits involves a period during which synaptic connectivity is dynamically refined to its adult functions in an activity-dependent manner. During this early development, ...
The group focuses on studying the mechanisms guiding activity-dependent development of glutamatergic circuitry in the limbic system and in particular, the roles of ionotropic glutamate receptors in ...
