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 ...

Two major forms of synaptic plasticity, long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD ... both LTP and LTD can occur at the same synapse in response to different patterns of ...

Branchi and his colleagues hypothesized that while plasticity in itself is neither good or bad, when combined with a favorable environment it can predict the transition from depression to mental ...

Instead, a delayed and stochastic activation of CaMKII occurred tens of seconds after initiating BTSP. In addition, while the plasticity was happening at a specific synapse, CaMKII was active in a ...

Researchers from Bonn and Japan have found that the sharing of proteins and calcium makes synaptic plasticity a collective ...

Zhang, Jianwei Jiang, Han Kang, Guozheng Jiang, Chengkai and Lu, Fucong 2015. A new form of equivalent stress for combined axial–torsional loading considering the tension–compression asymmetry of ...

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 ...
