Structural homeostasis: compensatory adjustments of dendritic arbor geometry in response to variations of synaptic input

Structural homeostasis is defined as follows: developing neurons modify the growth of their dendrites to compensate for changes in synaptic density. This structural adjustment is mediated, at least in part, by postsynaptic PKA signalling.
