Reconciling Homeostatic and Use-Dependent Plasticity in the Context of Somatosensory Deprivation
The concept of homeostatic plasticity postulates that neurons maintain relatively stable rates of firing despite changing inputs. Homeostatic and use-dependent plasticity mechanisms operate concurrently, although they have different requirements for induction. Depriving central somatosensory neurons...
