Title:	Activity-dependent synapse development: changing the rules.
Authors:	Murphy, Timothy H.
Source:	Nature Neuroscience. Jan2003, Vol. 6 Issue 1, p9. 3p.
Subjects:	Synapses, Neural transmission, Mice
Abstract:	Describes two major activity-dependent mecahnisms for modifying synpases in mice deficient in synaptic vesicle proteins. Relationship between Hebbian and homeostatic plasticity; Implications of developing synaptic inputs that undergo Hebbian correlated firing; Role of global attenuation in increasing synaptic functions in all neurons.
