Abstract

Homeostatic plasticity can globally scale the strength of all synapses on a neuron, but whether a similar bidirectional homeostatic scaling can also operate independently at individual synapses was unknown until now. Here, Man and colleagues demonstrate that single synapses show an input-specific homeostatic downregulation of synaptic efficacy in response to increased activity.
