Abstract

Neuronal activity-induced gene transcription is an important cellular mechanism for long-term plasticity. In this issue of Neuron, Tyssowski et al. (2018) provide new genome-wide features of the activity-transcription coupling mechanism that have deepened our molecular understanding of activity pattern-dependent synaptic plasticity.
