Synaptic Plasticity in Cardiac Innervation and Its Potential Role in Atrial Fibrillation
Synaptic plasticity is defined as the ability of synapses to change their strength of transmission. Plasticity of synaptic connections in the brain is a major focus of neuroscience research, as it is the primary mechanism underpinning learning and memory. Beyond the brain however, plasticity in peri...
