Figure 1From: Long-term plasticity determines the postsynaptic response to correlated afferents with multivesicular short-term synaptic depressionLong-term plasticity, which alters release-site number n , sets the sensitivity to presynaptic synchrony S . (A) Postsynaptic rate as a function of release-sites per presynaptic neuron n for different numbers of presynaptic cells firing together S (synchrony). (B) Heat map of the postsynaptic rate as a function of presynaptic release-site number n and presynaptic synchrony S. (C) Postsynaptic rate as a function of presynaptic synchrony S for different examples of release-site number. Long-term potentiation makes the postsynaptic cell more sensitive to weak synchrony, whereas long-term depression sensitizes the cell to stronger synchrony.Back to article page
