Changes that occur early in LTP are thought to tag activated synapses, allowing them to capture newly synthesized plasticity-related products (PRPs), which include scaffolding and cytoskeletal proteins. These PRPs are required to consolidate early LTP into late LTP; without them, synaptic strength d ...

Synaptogenesis

Synaptogenesis is the formation of synapses between neurons in the nervous system. Although it occurs throughout a healthy person's lifespan, an explosion of synapse formation occurs during early brain development, known as exuberant synaptogenesis. Synaptogenesis is particularly important during an individual's critical period, during which there is a certain degree of synaptic pruning due to competition for neural growth factors by neurons and synapses. Processes that are not used, or inhibited during their critical period will fail to develop normally later on in life.
