Long-term potentiation and experience-dependent plasticity in visual cortex are coregulated by age and experience.
A developmental affective neuroscience approach may clarify the factors underlying plasticity in the neural circuitry involved in distinct aspects of emotional behavior.
The prospect of activitydependent plasticity in these neuron-glial signalling pathways has, however, received little attention.
In this context, we describe recent experiments linking adult neurogenesis to long-term synaptic plasticity in the hippocampal dentate gyrus.
The cellular mechanisms that underlie structural plasticity in the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system remain to be determined.
It is possible to relate properties and mechanisms of long-term synaptic plasticity in the mammalian brain to learning and memory.
Such neuronal networks show temporal dynamics and may engage in synaptic plasticity or organize into coherent states.
All plasticity, the work ends with a stage essentially emptied, but for a dog, looking like a stray, sniffing for carrion.
