Abstract
Metaplasticity refers to an activity-dependent regulation of the plastic state of neurons. In this issue of Neuron, Dunfield and Haas demonstrate that in intact developing brain circuits, specific patterns of visual stimulation drive functional plasticity of individual neurons with variable outcomes, predisposed by time-averaged postsynaptic activity recent to visual training.Entities:
