Activity-dependent homeostatic synaptic plasticity widens the temperature range of synaptic transmission
Renato Filogonio, Delaney Cannon, Nikolaus Bueschke, Joseph M. Santin
This study shows that homeostatic synaptic plasticity increases AMPA receptor levels in motoneurons during hibernation, enhancing synaptic transmission at cool temperatures and enabling motor behavior restart after inactivity.
