In the late 19th century, Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1894) proposed that memories are stored at synapses and not through the generation of new neurons. Since then, there has been an extensive search for synaptic mechanisms responsible for learning and memory. Although synaptic plasticity is well established as an experience-dependent mechanism for modifying synaptic features, the precision of this mechanism is unknown.
Abstract Long-term potentiation (LTP) has become a standard model for investigating synaptic mechanisms of learning and memory. Increasingly, it is of interest to understand how LTP affects the synaptic information storage capacity of the targeted population of synapses. Here, structural synaptic plasticity during LTP was explored using three-dimensional reconstruction from serial section electron microscopy.
