Brain imaging: How stable are synaptic connections? [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Cortical circuits can undergo experience-dependent remodeling, while retaining the capacity for long-term information storage. The stability of individual synaptic connections is fundamental to both processes, but poorly understood; two studies using new in vivo imaging techniques have finally shed some light on this important issue.
