TL;DR: This paper reviews this recent literature on plasticity, focusing on four areas that have increased greatly in understanding of the nature of these plastic changes in the central nervous system.
Abstract: More than a decade has passed since Kandel & Spencer (1968) in their excellent review discussed cellular neurophysiological approaches to the study of learning. The understanding of plasticity, defined as any persistent change in the functional properties of single neurons or neuronal aggre­ gates, is a prerequisite for the neurophysiological study of learning. Since 1968, we have increased greatly our understanding of the nature of these plastic changes in the central nervous system. This paper reviews this recent literature. In particular I focus on four areas.
