Structural plasticity upon learning: regulation and functions

Structural plasticity upon learning: regulation and functions

Nature Reviews Neuroscience 13, 478 (2012). doi:10.1038/nrn3258

Authors: Pico Caroni, Flavio Donato & Dominique Muller

Recent studies have provided long-sought evidence that behavioural learning involves specific synapse gain and elimination processes, which lead to memory traces that influence behaviour. The connectivity rearrangements are preceded by enhanced synapse turnover, which can be modulated through changes in inhibitory connectivity. Behaviourally related synapse
