Journal ArticleDOI

Experience-dependent structural synaptic plasticity in the mammalian brain.

TL;DR: Recent evidence for structural forms of synaptic plasticity in the mammalian cortex involves cell type-specific structural plasticity: some boutons and dendritic spines appear and disappear, accompanied by synapse formation and elimination, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transient and Persistent Dendritic Spines in the Neocortex In Vivo

TL;DR: In 6-month-old mice, spines turn over more slowly in visual compared to somatosensory cortex, possibly reflecting differences in the capacity for experience-dependent plasticity in these brain regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experience-dependent and cell-type-specific spine growth in the neocortex.

TL;DR: The data indicate that novel sensory experience drives the stabilization of new spines on subclasses of cortical neurons, which probably underlie experience-dependent remodelling of specific neocortical circuits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spine growth precedes synapse formation in the adult neocortex in vivo.

TL;DR: The data show that spine growth precedes synapse formation and that new synapses form preferentially onto existing boutons, and in some instances, two new spines contacted the same axon.
