Two major forms of synaptic plasticity, long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) are cellular processes involved in learning and memory. Although they produce opposite effects ...

To study the link between LTP, synaptic strengthening and learning the authors used a single-whisker experience (SWE) protocol in which all but one of a mouse's whiskers were removed, resulting in ...

We are specially interested in understanding how homeostatic mechanisms interact with classical forms of synaptic plasticity such as LTP/LTD to allow experience-dependent circuit refinement and ...

Diversity in composition signifies synapse-specific structural plasticity. Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a cellular model of learning well-suited to the investigation of structural synaptic ...

We will then discuss the mechanisms of short- and long-term synaptic plasticity including the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD).

This synaptic plasticity is the mechanism underlying our ... their connections in a process known as "long-term potentiation" ...

Synaptic plasticity is fundamental to learning and memory, and the physiological and molecular mechanisms of long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) are being studied by Professors ...
