Experience-dependent homeostatic synaptic plasticity in neocortex.

The organism's ability to adapt to the changing sensory environment is due in part to the ability of the nervous system to change with experience. Input and synapse specific Hebbian plasticity, such as long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), are critical for sculpting the nervous system to wire its circuit in tune with the environment and for storing memories. However, thes...

Self-Organizing Visual Cortex Model using Homeostatic Plasticity Mechanism

Homeostatic plasticity is regulatory mechanism that modulates both synaptic connections and intrinsic properties of individual neuron in order to maintain stability of neuronal activity. This type of plasticity is considered to be an important complement to Hebbian plasticity, especially during learning and development process of nervous system. In this project, the role of homeostatic plastici...

Structural homeostasis in the nervous system: a balancing act for wiring plasticity and stability

Experience-dependent modifications of neural circuits provide the cellular basis for functional adaptation and learning, while presenting significant challenges to the stability of neural networks. The nervous system copes with these perturbations through a variety of compensatory mechanisms with distinct spatial and temporal profiles. Mounting evidence suggests that structural plasticity, thro...

Molecular mechanisms driving homeostatic plasticity of neurotransmitter release

Homeostatic plasticity is a process by which neurons adapt to the overall network activity to keep their firing rates in a reasonable range. At the cellular level this kind of plasticity comprises modulation of cellular excitability and tuning of synaptic strength. In this review we concentrate on presynaptic homeostatic plasticity controlling the efficacy of neurotransmitter release from presy...

Emerging links between homeostatic synaptic plasticity and neurological disease

Homeostatic signaling systems are ubiquitous forms of biological regulation, having been studied for hundreds of years in the context of diverse physiological processes including body temperature and osmotic balance. However, only recently has this concept been brought to the study of excitatory and inhibitory electrical activity that the nervous system uses to establish and maintain stable com...

Reconciling Homeostatic and Use-Dependent Plasticity in the Context of Somatosensory Deprivation

The concept of homeostatic plasticity postulates that neurons maintain relatively stable rates of firing despite changing inputs. Homeostatic and use-dependent plasticity mechanisms operate concurrently, although they have different requirements for induction. Depriving central somatosensory neurons of their primary activating inputs reduces activity and results in compensatory changes that fav...
