A two-photon survey of the plasticity of the neocortical microcircuit: searching for plasticity hotspots.
The cortex has been described to display synaptic plasticity, which is determinant for the function of cortical microcircuits. Although there is a large literature on neocortical plasticity, most of the experiments addressed the connections of pyramidal cells located in particular cortical layers, so the majority of intracortical connections are yet unexplored with respect to their plasticity.
