CA2+-PERMEABLE AMPA RECEPTORS IN HOMEOSTATIC SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY

Ca2+-permeable AMPA receptors in homeostatic synaptic plasticity

Neurons possess diverse mechanisms of homeostatic adaptation to overall changes in neural and synaptic activity, which are critical for proper brain functions.Homeostatic regulation of excitatory synapses has been studied in the context of synaptic scaling, which allows neurons to adjust here their excitatory synaptic gain to maintain their activit
