What are the differences in the cellular mechanisms underlying short-term and long- term synaptic plasticity? (i.e. where do they occur, how do they occur, and clearly specify the unique cellular mechanisms contributing to LTP that do not occur in short term plasticity).

One important observation is the structural changes seen at LTP-induced synapses. These synapses have a greater surface area with the pre-synaptic cell and have different molecular constituents. The neurons involved in LTP have more synaptic connections, too.

-What are the molecular events that cause one specific synapsis to change in relation to the others and commit to LTP? A complete answer to the question must address several aspects: mRNA transport, local protein synthesis (the proteins made and how they are made) at the synapsis and the soma, vesicle fusion, receptor transport.
