Pansynaptic Enlargement at Adult Cortical Connections Strengthened by Experience

Behavioral experience alters the strength of neuronal connections in adult neocortex. These changes in synaptic strength are thought to be central to experience-dependent plasticity, learning, and memory. However, it is not known how changes in synaptic tr ...

Spontaneous and evoked synaptic rewiring in the neonatal neocortex

Henry Markram, Jean-Vincent Le Bé

The local microcircuitry of the neocortex is structurally a tabula rasa, with the axon of each pyramidal neuron having numerous submicrometer appositions with the dendrites of all neighboring pyramidal neurons, but is functionally highly selective, with sy ...

Controlled and localized genetic manipulation in the brain

Carl Petersen

Brain structure and function are determined in part through experience and in part through our inherited genes. A powerful approach for unravelling the balance between activity-dependent neuronal plasticity and genetic programs is to directly manipulate th ...
