| Summary |
Mechanisms of neural plasticity enable the encoding and memorization of information based on sensory inputs. This book describes and evaluates the evidence for neural mechanisms proposed to underlie CNS plasticity in the major divisions of the brain dedicated to visual processing, the retina, sub-cortical structures and cortex |
