Quick thinking? It’s all down to timing

Neuroscience NewsMarch 27, 2019

A pairing of presynaptic and postsynaptic activity in a population of hippocampal neurons can reduce the required number of synaptic plasticity evoking events. When spikes occur within ten milliseconds of each other, synapses strengthen for up to four hours.... Read More...
