Anatomical evidence of synaptic plasticity in the cochlear nuclei of white-deaf cats.

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).
