Long lasting protein synthesis- and activity-dependent spine shrinkage and elimination after synaptic depression.

Neuronal circuits modify their response to synaptic inputs in an experience-dependent fashion. Increases in synaptic weights are accompanied by structural modifications, and activity dependent, long lasting growth of dendritic spines requires new protein synthesis. When multiple spines are potentiat...
