Arc-dependent synapse-specific homeostatic plasticity.
Both theoretical and experimental research has indicated that the synaptic strength between neurons in a network needs to be properly fine-tuned and controlled by homeostatic mechanisms to ensure proper network function. One such mechanism that has been extensively characterized is synaptic homeostatic plasticity or global synaptic scaling. This mechanism refers to the bidirectional ability of ...
متن کاملIlluminating Synapse-Specific Homeostatic Plasticity
Homeostatic plasticity can globally scale the strength of all synapses on a neuron, but whether a similar bidirectional homeostatic scaling can also operate independently at individual synapses was unknown until now. Here, Man and colleagues demonstrate that single synapses show an input-specific homeostatic downregulation of synaptic efficacy in response to increased activity.

Homeostatic synaptic plasticity allows neural circuits to function stably despite fluctuations to their inputs. Previous work has shown that excitatory synaptic strength increases globally when neuronal inputs are chronically silenced. A recent paper by Kim and Tsien describes a new type of synapse-specific homeostatic plasticity in which input silencing causes simultaneous strengthening and we...
متن کاملHomeostatic synapse-driven membrane plasticity in nucleus accumbens neurons.
Stable brain function relies on homeostatic maintenance of the functional output of individual neurons. In general, neurons function by converting synaptic input to output as action potential firing. To determine homeostatic mechanisms that balance this input-output/synapse-membrane interaction, we focused on nucleus accumbens (NAc) neurons and demonstrated a novel form of synapse-to-membrane h...
متن کاملExperience-dependent homeostatic synaptic plasticity in neocortex.
The organism's ability to adapt to the changing sensory environment is due in part to the ability of the nervous system to change with experience. Input and synapse specific Hebbian plasticity, such as long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), are critical for sculpting the nervous system to wire its circuit in tune with the environment and for storing memories. However, thes...
