Summarizes and integrates studies that examine the induction, expression and functional role of inhibitory synaptic plasticity at different organizational levels (from the neuron to the circuit)
Material clearly divided by theme into four parts that highlight the major functions of inhibitory synaptic plasticity: Refinement, Addition, Pain & Injury, and Learning & Memory
Brings together a large portion of the current thinking about the plasticity of inhibitory synapses

About this book

This volume will explore the most recent findings on cellular mechanisms of inhibitory plasticity and its functional role in shaping neuronal circuits, their rewiring in response to experience, drug addiction and in neuropathology. Inhibitory Synaptic Plasticity will be of particular interest to neuroscientists and neurophysiologists.
