The Stability of Glutamatergic Synapses Is Independent of Activity Level, but Predicted by Synapse Size

Neuronal activity is thought to drive the remodeling of circuits in the mammalian cerebral cortex. However, its precise function in the underlying formation and elimination of glutamatergic synapses has remained controversial. To clarify the role of activity in synapse turnover, we have assessed the...
