Synaptic Competition

Synaptic Competition is a neurobiological process in which active synapses on a dendritic tree selectively strengthen and stabilize at the expense of inactive or weaker neighboring synapses, through activity-dependent mechanisms that regulate synaptic efficacy and structural persistence.
