To perform computations with the efficiency necessary for animal survival, neocortical
microcircuits must be capable of reconfiguring in response to experience, while carefully …

Since it was first described almost 30 years ago, homeostatic synaptic plasticity (HSP) has
been hypothesized to play a key role in maintaining neuronal circuit function in both …

Heliconius butterflies, a speciose genus of Müllerian mimics, represent a classic example of
an adaptive radiation that includes a range of derived dietary, life history, physiological and …

Neurotransmitter release is stabilized by homeostatic plasticity. Presynaptic homeostatic
potentiation (PHP) operates on timescales ranging from minute-to life-long adaptations and …

The decline of neuronal synapses is an established feature of ageing accompanied by the
diminishment of neuronal function, and in the motor system at least, a reduction of …

Presynaptic homeostatic plasticity (PHP) adaptively enhances neurotransmitter release
following diminished postsynaptic glutamate receptor (GluR) functionality to maintain …

Throughout the nervous system, the convergence of two or more presynaptic inputs on a
target cell is commonly observed. The question we ask here is to what extent converging …

Ionotropic glutamate receptors (GluRs) are targets for modulation in Hebbian and
homeostatic synaptic plasticity and are remodeled by development, experience, and …

Defining neuronal cell types and their associated biophysical and synaptic diversity has
become an important goal in neuroscience as a mechanism to create comprehensive brain …

Structural and functional plasticity induced by neuronal competition is a common feature of
developing nervous systems. However, the rules governing how postsynaptic cells …
