Size and receptor density of glutamatergic synapses: a viewpoint from left-right asymmetry of CA3-CA1 connections
Synaptic plasticity is considered to be the main mechanism for learning and memory. Excitatory synapses in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus undergo plastic changes during development and in response to electric stimulation. It is widely accepted that this process is mediated by insertion and el...
