Abstract
F-actin is required for LTP induction, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. New results show that LTP produces an increase in actin-rich spines. Furthermore, these spines have large synapses, strongly suggesting that LTP involves synapse growth. This process appears to require LIMK-1 phosphorylation of the actin depolymerizing factor cofilin.Entities:
