Calcium input frequency, duration and amplitude differentially modulate the relative activation of calcineurin and CaMKII.

NMDA receptor dependent long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) are two prominent forms of synaptic plasticity, both of which are triggered by post-synaptic calcium elevation. To understand how calcium selectively stimulates two opposing processes, we developed a detailed computa...
