Their activation mechanisms not only challenge traditional models of synaptic maturation but also provide novel insights into brain function regulation and disease pathology. This article provides a systematic review of the regulatory mechanisms underlying silent synapse activation, encompassing pre-synaptic calcium signaling-mediated vesicle cycling and active zone (AZ) optimization, post-synaptic\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic>\n                    -amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR) membrane insertion and post-synaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95) anchoring, Mg\n                    <jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>\n                    blockade release by N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR), as well as synergistic integration of upstream signaling pathways. Additionally, it explores the roles of astrocytes, epigenetic modifications, ubiquitin-proteasome systems, and autophagy-lysosomal systems in multi-level regulatory processes. Notably, abnormal regulation of silent synapses exhibits two contrasting pathological patterns in diseases: \u201cdesilencing impairment\u201d (e.g., Alzheimer\u2019s disease, depression) and \u201cabnormally excessive desilencing\u201d (e.g., drug addiction, chronic pain), which establishes a theoretical framework for targeted interventions. The study further evaluates the applicability and limitations of emerging technologies\u2014including high-resolution imaging, single-cell omics, optogenetics, and AI-driven brain-inspired computing\u2014in silent synapse research, while systematically summarizing clinical advancements, current challenges, and future directions, aiming to inform both fundamental neuroscience studies and therapeutic interventions.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnsyn.2026.1923815","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,3]],"date-time":"2026-09-03T05:23:35Z","timestamp":1788413015000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Activation of silent synapses driven by emerging technologies: mechanisms, disease associations, and prospects for clinical translation"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Yongli","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"First Clinical Medical School, Yunnan University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Kunming, Yunnan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Second Clinical Medical School, Second Affiliated Hospital, Yunnan University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Kunming, Yunnan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shouyao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"First Clinical Medical School, Yunnan University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Kunming, Yunnan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chenggui","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Second Clinical Medical School, Second Affiliated Hospital, Yunnan University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Kunming, Yunnan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruhua","family":"Lan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine","place":["Chuxiong, Yunnan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pengbin","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Second Clinical Medical School, Second Affiliated Hospital, Yunnan University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Kunming, Yunnan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruilu","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Second Clinical Medical School, Second Affiliated Hospital, Yunnan University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Kunming, Yunnan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yongli","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Basic Medicine, Yunnan University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Kunming, Yunnan, China"]},{"name":"Yunnan Key Laboratory of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine for Chronic Disease in Prevention and Treatment, Yunnan University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Kunming, Yunnan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinghe","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Second Clinical Medical School, Second Affiliated Hospital, Yunnan University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Kunming, Yunnan, China"]},{"name":"Yunnan Key Laboratory of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine for Chronic Disease in Prevention and Treatment, Yunnan University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Kunming, Yunnan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"214","DOI":"10.4161\/epi.2.4.5212","article-title":"MeCP2 deficiency in the brain decreases BDNF levels by REST\/CoREST-mediated repression and increases TRKB production","volume":"2","author":"Abuhatzira","year":"2007","journal-title":"Epigenetics"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"805","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biopsych.2014.08.001","article-title":"Syngap1 haploinsufficiency damages a postnatal critical period of pyramidal cell structural maturation linked to cortical circuit assembly","volume":"77","author":"Aceti","year":"2015","journal-title":"Biol.
