In neuroscience, synaptic plasticity is the ability of synapses to strengthen or weaken over time, in response to increases or decreases in their activity...

Forms of short-term plasticity include synaptic fatigue or depression and synaptic augmentation. Forms of long-term plasticity include long-term depression...

Spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) is a biological process that adjusts the strength of synaptic connections between neurons based on the relative...

Neuroplasticity, also known as neural plasticity or just plasticity, is the ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and reorganization...

Heterosynaptic plasticity is a subtype of synaptic plasticity, referring to a chemical synapse's ability to undergo changes in strength, or efficacy of...

adapt to changes in the connectivity and synaptic strength during development and learning. Homeostatic plasticity is also a negative feedback mechanism...

Homosynaptic plasticity is one type of synaptic plasticity. Homosynaptic plasticity is input-specific, meaning changes in synapse strength occur only at...

potentials. Nonsynaptic plasticity is a modification of the intrinsic excitability of the neuron. It interacts with synaptic plasticity, but it is considered...

Abraham and M.F. Bear to refer to the plasticity of synaptic plasticity. Until that time synaptic plasticity had referred to the plastic nature of individual...

activity-dependent presynaptic facilitation are both necessary for synaptic plasticity and classical conditioning in Aplysia californica. While research...

Short-term synaptic depression or synaptic fatigue, is an activity-dependent form of short term synaptic plasticity that results in the temporary inability...

The NMDA receptor is thought to be very important for controlling synaptic plasticity and mediating learning and memory functions. The NMDA receptor is...

development is the result of three predominant mechanisms: synaptic and homeostatic plasticity, and learning. When brain areas are impaired, remaining circuits...

provide the basis for synaptic plasticity connected to learning and memory. Dendritic spines accomplish this by transforming synaptic input into neuronal...

for the dendrite and axon development (synaptic plasticity). The first is direct phosphorylation of synaptic-associated protein 97(SAP97), a scaffolding...

In neuroscience, synaptic scaling (or homeostatic scaling) is a form of homeostatic plasticity, in which the brain responds to chronically elevated activity...

combined with burst-dependent long-term plasticity, such multiplexing can allow neurons to coordinate synaptic plasticity across hierarchical networks. Burst...

signal. Synaptic plasticity is the process whereby strengths of synaptic connections are altered. For example, long-term changes in synaptic connection...

involvement of FMRP in synaptic plasticity. Synaptic plasticity requires the production of new proteins in response to activation of synaptic receptors. It is...

The formation of synaptic connections significantly depends on activity-dependent synaptic plasticity observed in various synaptic pathways. Indeed,...

can penetrate in some cases the synaptic cleft to interfere with the synaptic transmission and thus control synaptic communication. Computational neuroscience...

(Short-term Plasticity) and long term synaptic plasticity (Long-term Plasticity) in terms of storing information and changing in the efficiency of synaptic transmission...

thus a form of short-term synaptic plasticity. The mechanisms underlying neural facilitation are exclusively pre-synaptic; broadly speaking, PPF arises...
