Presynaptic activation of silent synapses and growth of new synapses contribute to intermediate and long-term facilitation in Aplysia.

abstract：:During the development of forebrain connectivity, ascending thalamocortical and descending corticofugal axons first intermingle at the pallial-subpallial boundary to form the internal capsule (IC). However, the identity of molecular cues that guide these axons remains largely unknown. Here, we show that the transmembr...
