Anatomical Correlates of Neuronal Plasticity

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses anatomical correlates of neuronal plasticity. Organisms obviously can alter their behavior in response to the changes environment but mechanisms underlying such behavioral plasticity are not obvious. When an oganism responds differently repeated exposure same stimulus, that is when learning has occurred. In other words, flexible and adaptable or within organism. As occur without environment, simplest hypothesis account for organisms store information gained from previous experiences. Such stored called memory what how it remains quite mysterious, even though numerous theoretical experimental advances continue be made identifying conditions under which occur. Two primary goals studies identify neural centers involved specific behaviors kinds (electrical, chemical, morphological) underly observed
