Preprint: Multi-contact synapses for stable networks: a spike-timing dependent model of dendritic spine plasticity and turnover

https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.05730 Excitatory synaptic connections in the adult neocortex consist of multiple synaptic contacts, almost exclusively formed on dendritic spines. Changes of dendritic spine shape and volume, a correlate…
