1 Introduction Synaptic plasticity, which involves long-lasting functional changes in synaptic and neuronal connectivity, underlies learning and memory.[1-3] For instance, long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) are further stabilized by structural changes in synaptic components, which require trafficking or synthesis of de novo proteins.[1, 2] Spines, which are small protrusions emanating from the dendritic shafts of mammalian neurons, are major postsynaptic structures in...
