Synaptic plasticity is a hallmark of the nervous system and is thought to be integral to higher brain functions such as learning and memory. Calcium, acting as a second messenger, and the calcium/calmodulin dependent kinase CaMKII are key regulators of neuronal plasticity. Given the importance of the actin and microtubule (MT) cytoskeleton in dendritic spine morphology, composition and plasticity, it is not surprising that many regulators of these cytoskeletal elements are downstream of the CaMKII pathway. In this review, we discuss the emerging role of calcium and CaMKII in the regulation of MTs and cargo unloading during synaptic plasticity.
