The paper investigates synaptic competition during long-term depression in Fragile X Syndrome, finding that FXS mutant neurons lack competition, allowing all stimulated spines to shrink.

The study investigates how naturalistic synaptic activity patterns affect structural plasticity in hippocampal dendritic spines, finding that temporal structure and NMDAR activity determine plasticity longevity.

The paper identifies a novel feedforward excitatory circuit in the corticostriatal pathway involving PT neurons, ChIs, and SPNs, resulting in biphasic excitation of striatal neurons.

SpineS is an open-source software for automatic longitudinal analysis of dendritic spine dynamics with manual intervention, showing high performance on two-photon and confocal imaging datasets.

This study investigates how homeostatic plasticity affects dendritic spine volumes and modifies Hebbian plasticity thresholds and specificity in mouse hippocampal neurons.
