Document Summary
Long-term potentiation short video module, timing of synaptic plasticity video. Nervous system functions are constantly changing, an attribute called neuroplasticity. (cid:862)the (cid:271)rai(cid:374), as the sour(cid:272)e of human behaviour, is by design molded by environmental changes and pressures, physiological modifications, and e(cid:454)perie(cid:374)(cid:272)es.

E(cid:454)perie(cid:374)(cid:272)e alters the (cid:271)rai(cid:374)"s orga(cid:374)izatio(cid:374: neuroplasticity is required for development, learning, and memory functions, as well as for survival, new information can be stored in nervous system if and only if neural connections change. Plasticity, therefore, should be measurable, as changes in brain structure and/or synaptic connections. Therefore, to measure plasticity, you must measure relative to a prior state (before the manipulation. Donald o. hebb: neuroplasticity occurs at the synapse, itself. Apl says that the brain is, by design, molded by environmental changes experience alters brain organization, via the mechanism of neuroplasticity, and is required for survival, learning, and memory. Plasticity should be measurable at the structural level but also at the synapse.
