Mechanisms

• Homeostatic Setpoint Retuning
  • This is the phenomenon neuroscientists call synaptic scaling, a hallmark of homeostatic plasticity.

    This sourceIntroduces synaptic scaling as an activity-dependent, proportional adjustment of synaptic strengths that stabilizes neuronal firing and synaptic modification.
