Neurobiology of Metaplasticity

Neurobiology of Metaplasticity provides in-depth coverage of research on metaplasticity in the nervous system. Coverage includes metaplasticity induction and expression, pathways and receptors, and metaplasticity impact on behavior, learning, and memory. The book explores metaplasticity in different parts of the nervous system, including the hippocampus, human cortex, spinal cord, and visual cortex. Metaplasticity’s impact on disease states is also explored including dementia, aging, stroke, and depression. Finally the book reviews applications of metaplasticity in drug research, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.

• Covers mechanisms underlying the Metaplasticity of the nervous system
• Includes case studies
• Serves as a resource in brain development and memory formation
