synaptic tagging

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, synaptic tagging has been mentioned in one podcast episode on HUBERMAN LAB (Sep 2025).

Synaptic tagging, or the synaptic tagging hypothesis, has been proposed to explain how neural signaling at a particular synapse creates a target for subsequent plasticity-related product (PRP) trafficking essential for sustained LTP and LTD. Although the molecular identity of the tags remains unknown, it has been established that they form as a result of high or low frequency stimulation, interact with incoming PRPs, and have a limited lifespan.
