Their defects, on the other hand, have been asso- ciated with neurological disorders such as autism. Although the molecular mechanism underlying long-term functional alterations of synaptic connections, including LTP and LTD, are becoming increasingly clear, the molecular mechanism for structural plasticity, such as spine pruning, remains largely unknown, especially in vivo.展开更多
