Abstract excerpt
Synapses are dynamic structures reflecting environmental events. It was observed that densities associated with apposing synaptic membranes were altered in response to changing conditions of auditory stimulation (Gulley et al. 1978. J. Comp. Neurol. 180: 707-742). Synapses also exhibit plasticity during early development of the auditory system (Larsen and Pappas, 1985. Proceedings: 43rd Annual Meeting of the...
