This form of plasticity describes how the history of synaptic activity influences the direction and magnitude of subsequent plasticity.
Difficulty: Hard- Metaplasticity
- Homosynaptic plasticity
- Heterosynaptic plasticity
- Structural plasticity
These specialized cells are the primary information-processing units of the brain, transmitting signals through electrical and chemical means.
Difficulty: Easy- Blood cells
- Neurons
