Metaplasticity: the plasticity of synaptic plasticity

Trends in Neurosciences, 1996
In this paper, we review experimental evidence for a novel form of persistent synaptic plasticity we call metaplasticity. Metaplasticity is induced by synaptic or cellular activity, but it is not necessarily expressed as a change in the efficacy of normal synaptic transmission.

Plastics, Plasticity, and the Plastic

Interdisciplinary Literary Studies
ABSTRACT This article examines the development of the idea of “plasticity” by proposing two critical moments in its conceptual epigenesis: that of plastics, represented by Cudworth and Shaftesbury in the seventeenth century, and that of plasticity as elaborated by Catherine Malabou in the twenty-first century.

Plasticity

2013
A variety of noninvasive brain stimulation techniques have been used to study neuronal plasticity. Mostly, noninvasive techniques have been employed, and the bulk of studies have focused on the motor system, because its physiology is more readily accessible and physiological properties can be studied with greater detail than in other systems.
