Homosynaptic plasticity is one type of synaptic plasticity. [1] Homosynaptic plasticity is input-specific, meaning changes in synapse strength occur only at post-synaptic targets specifically ...

New research provides evidence that synaptic NMDAR number and subunit composition are not static, but change dynamically in a cell- and synapse-specific ... and long-term depression (LTD ...

Mental Health App Could Help Prevent Depression in Young People at High Risk Oct. 8, 2024 — A cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) app has been found to significantly prevent increases in ...

Depression is a common but serious mood disorder that can affect how a person feels, thinks, and handles their daily activities. It can be a confusing disorder to understand because there are ...

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.

In addition, while the plasticity was happening at a specific synapse, CaMKII was active in a much larger area of the neuron. The research revealed that CaMKII is an instructive signal for BTSP ...

Scientists discovered that the molecule CaMKII helps neurons encode information over seconds, a key process in learning. This challenges previous beliefs about how CaMKII influences synapse-specific ...
