Pre- and postsynaptic nanostructures increase in size and complexity after induction of long-term potentiation
Summary: Synapses, specialized contact sites between neurons, are the fundamental elements of neuronal information transfer. Synaptic plasticity involves changes in synaptic morphology and the number of neurotransmitter receptors, and is thought to underlie learning and memory. However, it is not cl...
