✓ the level of stimulation required to trigger a neural impulse
Neuroplasticity
ANS:
✓ multiple processes and multiple opportunities for neurone to change
their behaviour
3 ways neuroplasticity occurs
ANS:
✓ 1. change the properties of neurotransmission
✓ - change in transmitter release
✓ - change in PSP size or shape
✓ 2. change in cell properties
✓ - size and shape
✓ - electrical properties (resistance)
✓ - "leakiness" of membrane
✓ 3. structural/anatomical changes of cell

functioning will occur only if that neuron is active (firing) at the same
time as another neuron
