Depending on parameters, from 60% to 90% of deprived-eyesynapticstrengthcan be lost without reducing correlation beyond this range.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This is suggestive that even prolonged deprivation does not remove more than 60% of deprived-eyesynapticstrength, a figure well within the range studied here.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Such variation might occur, for example, by changes insynapticstrengthwithin groups of neurons.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Deprivation by random synaptic pruning was carried out until 70% of deprived-eyesynapticstrengthwas lost.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We allow deprivation to proceed until 60% of deprived-eye (right-eye)synapticstrengthhas been eliminated.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Here we show that glial cells in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus can also participate in alteringsynapticstrengthat glutamatergic synapses.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We now show that this dynamic fate commitment can be retained even after severe deprivation sufficient to cause massive loss ofsynapticstrength.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Second, we implemented deprivation as a random pruning of deprived-eye synapses rather than as a gradual loss ofsynapticstrength.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Our results identify reductions in inhibitorysynapticstrengthas a major factor underlying hyperexcitability in barrel cortex adjacent to experimental microgyri.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Top: correlation coefficient is plotted versus percent deprivation, that is, the percentage ofsynapticstrengthlost in the initially deprived eye.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In some cases, we model deprivation as a random deletion of synapses from the deprived eye, rather than as a gradual loss ofsynapticstrengthunder activity patterns simulating deprivation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Development continues until the newly deprived eye'ssynapticstrengthis reduced to the same level as had been achieved in the initially deprived eye.
From theCambridge English Corpus

From
Wikipedia
One model suggests that the tag allows for local protein synthesis at the specified synapse that then leads to modifications insynapticstrength.
From
Wikipedia
His laboratory uses a number of experimental approaches to dissect the molecular mechanisms necessary for maintaining long-lasting changes insynapticstrengthand memory.
From
Wikipedia
Memories are theorized to be encoded bysynapticstrength, and as such, long-term potentiation is considered to be a major mechanism underlying memory.
From

From
Wikipedia
Research has shown that specific changes in the topology of neural networks and their increase insynapticstrengthcan move into hyper-excited states.
