A model of drug-induced neural plasticity is shown in Figure 1. According to this scheme, drugs produce acute and short-term changes in brain function by influencing the brain's signal transduction pathways. This includes drug regulation of the amount of neurotransmitter available at the synapse and of...

These effects are fundamental to the development and adaptation of the nervous system, ... Neural plasticity is the ability of neural circuits to undergo changes in function or organization due to previous activity. The simplest example of neural plasticity is facilitation: the increase in amplitude of a postsynaptic...

There is evidence in humans for neural plasticity and adaptation at both spinal and supraspinal loci in the motor system (1, 3). A common model of adaptive plasticity in the human neuromuscular system is high-intensity resistance exercise training.

For the most part, plasticity has been documented in motor systems after training and long-term adaptation. However, there has been no demonstration of immediate neural changes associated with the rapid adaptation of motor behavior required to interact with a dynamic environment.
