The researchers found that p25 is required for synaptic plasticity, the ability of brain connections to change over time;
Since morphology changes of synapses underlie synaptic plasticity and our learning and memory, this will provide us with many new insights into mechanisms of how neurons store information in their morphology,
and the European Neuroscience Institute in Germany reveal details of the mechanisms behind synaptic plasticity. he synaptic changes that we have identified might reflect an innate neuronal property that leads to protection from excessive stimuli,
Future work may investigate how modifying the Wnt signal can be used to manipulate synaptic plasticity, with possible therapeutic applications for neurodegenerative or mental diseases n
said Newman. his is potentially a very big deal in terms of developing therapies for aberrant forms of synaptic plasticity.
Preventing or reversing this synaptic plasticity in visual cortex left the animals unable to distinguish familiar and novel visual stimuli.
