Human Gene Set: GOBP_REGULATION_OF_SYNAPSE_STRUCTURAL_PLASTICITY

For the Mouse gene set with the same name, see GOBP_REGULATION_OF_SYNAPSE_STRUCTURAL_PLASTICITY

Standard name GOBP_REGULATION_OF_SYNAPSE_STRUCTURAL_PLASTICITY
Systematic name M24040
Brief description Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of synapse structural plasticity. Synapse structural plasticity is a type of cytoskeletal remodeling; this remodeling is induced by stimuli that can lead to long term potentiation and it can be activity-dependent or -independent. Examples of cytoskeletal changes include the formation of new spines and increase in spine size; this can be accompanied by the insertion of greater numbers of glutamate (or other neurotransmitter) receptors into the post-synaptic membrane.
