The Informational Plasticity of Synaptic Wiring

Plasticity of synaptic weight can be increased by trafficking amper s to the synaps, and that's the simplest way we think about it. But it also can be triggered by structural plasticity. If you have a population of nurans or a sub population of durans that are all connected to a posynaptic set of nuran,. if you increase structural plasticity by having more dendrites on the posenaptic side, it's just increasing effective neurotransmitters. You're not really changing Synapse wire because they're already connected. Then you move over to informational plasticity of neuronal wiring which is mediated both by slight acson movements, or new dend
