Observations on clustered synaptic plasticity and highly structured input patterns

Neuron. 2011 Dec 22;72(6):887-8. doi: 10.1016/j.neuron.2011.12.009.

Abstract

In this issue of Neuron, Makino and Malinow and Kleindienst et al. present evidence of a behaviorally induced form of synaptic plasticity that would encourage the development of fine-scale structured input patterns and the binding of features within single neurons.
