Robust learning-driven structural and functional plasticity of spines in the mature mouse cortex

Mona Fariborzi, Delaney G Eaves, Lara Y. Demir, Yuxi Wu, Adam Skeens, Martin Hruska, Adema Ribic

This study shows that learning increases spine complexity and formation in adult mice, while reducing spine size, and that spine response discriminability predicts learning performance.
