The researchers thereby show that it is hard to get a mature synapse to change the strength of its connection (thus satisfying the stability side of the dilemma), but easy to unsilence a silent one (satisfying the plasticity side).

研究人员由此确定，改变成熟突触连接的强度很难（因此能够实现平衡性中稳定性的要求），但激活沉默突触是很容易的（因此满足平衡性中可塑性的要求）。

因此，研究人员表明很难让成熟的突触改变其连接强度（从而满足困境的稳定性方面），但很容易让沉默的突触恢复沉默（满足可塑性方面）。
