摘要
TNF alpha has been proposed to underlie synaptic scaling, but the mechanism and functional significance of this remain unclear. In this issue of Neuron, Cingolani et al. demonstrate that TNFa can mediate scaling through the regulation of beta 3 integrins. Kaneko et al. show that TNF alpha-dependent synaptic scaling plays an important role in visual cortical plasticity.
