Regulators of Sensory Cortical Plasticity by Neuromodulators and Sensory Experience

Regulators of Sensory Cortical Plasticity by Neuromodulators and Sensory Experience

Recent evidence indicates that the mature neocortex retains a higher degree of plasticity than traditionally assumed. Up- and down-regulation of synaptic strength, long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), is thought to be the primary mechanism mediating experience-dependent plast...
