TL;DR: It is shown that SO synapses normally have significantly more mushroom spines and higher-magnitude long-term potentiation (LTP) than SR synapses, and it is discovered that these differences require the Type II classic cadherins, cadherin-6, -9, and -10 to regulate mushroom spine density and high-Magnitude LTP in the SO layer.
