Silent synapses

In rats, what procedure, when applied during adulthood, results in increased visual acuityafter visual deprivation during development?

Refer to the figure below. The data in the graph are the results of recording from neurons in the visual cortex in a cat while presenting a light stimulus to each eye. Neurons in group 1 are activated by only the contralateral eye, neurons in group 7 are activated by only the ipsilateral eye, and neurons in group 2 through 6 are activated by a combination of both eyes. What experimental procedure did the cat undergo before the data was collected?

You induce LTP in a dendritic spine. How would you expect a dendritic spine immediately adjacent to the affected spine to change?

True or False: dendritic spine abnormalities are associated with intellectual disability

As a general rule, the _______ the timescale of modulation, the more _______ the mechanism(s) that cause synaptic plasticity
