How the brain rewires itself: Plasticity in the central nervous system
Abstract
Synaptic plasticity is a mechanism through which nervous system modifies the quantity or intensity of its synapsis in different brain regions. This mechanisms not only underlies memory formation, but it is also important to enhance recovery after brain damage. Herein we address some of the processes in which synaptic plasticity plays a role.
