Phosphorylation of AMPA receptors is required for sensory deprivation-induced homeostatic synaptic plasticity.

Phosphorylation of AMPA receptors is required for sensory deprivation-induced homeostatic synaptic plasticity.

Sensory experience, and the lack thereof, can alter the function of excitatory synapses in the primary sensory cortices. Recent evidence suggests that changes in sensory experience can regulate the synaptic level of Ca(2+)-permeable AMPA receptors (CP-AMPARs). However, the molecular mechanisms under...
