The biochemical composition of the postsynaptic membrane and the structure of dendritic
spines may be rapidly modulated by synaptic activity. Here we review these findings,
discuss their implications for long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD)
and propose a model of sequentially occurring expression mechanisms.
