Structural plasticity of GABAergic axons is regulated by network activity and GABAA receptor activation

Coordinated changes at excitatory and inhibitory synapses are essential for normal brain development and function. It is well established that excitatory neurons undergo structural changes, but our knowledge about inhibitory structural plasticity is rather scarce. Here we present a quantitative anal...
