NMDAR-dependent long-term depression is associated with increased short term plasticity through autophagy mediated loss of PSD-95

Long-term depression (LTD) of synaptic strength contributes to circuit remodeling, memory encoding and erasure. Here, the authors show that P2XR- and NMDAR-dependent LTD are associated with distinct and precise molecular modifications that lead to specific modification of synapse function.
