Abstract: Summary Synaptic scaling is a key homeostatic plasticity mechanism and is thought to be involved in the regulation of cortical activity levels. Here we investigated the spatial scale of homeostatic changes in spine size following… read more here.

Abstract: The morphology of dendritic trees critically shapes how neurons integrate and compute synaptic inputs. Dendritic morphogenesis results from the growth and spatial organization of branches, driven by intrinsic genetic programs, extrinsic environmental signals, activity-dependent processes,… read more here.
