title: A molecular link tethering neuronal responses with the past.
abstract: Neurons need to alter their response to a given stimulus over time in order for the animal to modify its behavior within a changing environment. Chen et al. now demonstrate that neuronal structure and function are altered coordinately by the history of the cell's activity through an unexpected molecular pathway.
