Stargazin Dephosphorylation Mediates Homeostatic Synaptic Downscaling of Excitatory Synapses

Synaptic scaling is a form of homeostatic plasticity that is critical for maintaining neuronal activity within a dynamic range, and which alters synaptic strength through changes in postsynaptic AMPA-type glutamate receptors. Homeostatic scaling down of excitatory synapses has been shown to occur du...
