title: Neuronal plasticity: how do neurons know what to do?
abstract: A recent study confirms activity-dependent co-regulation of membrane conductances as a mechanism underlying homeostatic regulation of neuronal properties. How multiple cellular and synaptic homeostatic mechanisms interact in a neuronal circuit is best studied with a combination of experimentation and modeling.
