AMPA receptor incorporation into synapses during LTP: the role of lateral movement and exocytosis.
Paper summary
Images fluorescent AMPA receptors in rat hippocampal slices during long-term potentiation. Most incorporated receptors arrive by lateral diffusion from the spine surface; subsequent exocytosis primarily replenishes dendritic surface pools for later plasticity.
Relevance to the project
Motivates separating contact-local state from neuron-wide resource or trafficking state. A shared finite pool could couple several local updates if later justified.
This cellular experiment does not prescribe a scalar update equation.
