Structural Plasticity Induces Robust, Compartmentalized and Rapid PKCα Activity

Caption

(TOP) Average time course of PKCα activity measured by ITRACKα biosensor during structural Long-Term Potentiation (sLTP). (BOTTOM) PKC activity was compartmentalized in the stimulated spine, suggesting a local, spine-specific role in plasticity. White spot indicates location of glutamate uncaging.
