A screen for genes that regulate synaptic growth reveals mechanisms that stabilize synaptic strength

2018-09-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Synapses grow, prune, and remodel throughout development, experience, and disease. This structural plasticity can destabilize information transfer in the nervous system. However, neural activity remains remarkably stable throughout life, implying that adaptive countermeasures exist to stabilize neurotransmission. Aberrant synaptic structure and function has been associated with a variety of neur...
