Synaptic plasticity is the basis of information storage in the brain. Two of the most studied forms of plasticity, long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), involve both ...

Synaptic plasticity is the biological process by which specific patterns of synaptic activity result in changes in synaptic strength and is thought to contribute to learning and memory.

Researchers have developed DELTA, a powerful new imaging method that maps brain-wide synaptic changes during learning.

Neuroscientists believe that synaptic plasticity, as these changes are called, plays an important role in storing memories. However, the rules governing when and how much synapses change are not ...

Experiences cause the strength of these connections to change—a process called synaptic plasticity, which underlies learning and memory. But exactly where in the brain these changes occur during ...

The DELTA technique offers a brain-wide view of synaptic protein alterations, enhancing understanding of neuronal connections ...
