Neuroplasticity: state-of-the-art and future directions
State-of-the-art | a. Hebbian learning models: spike-time dependence, long-term potentiation, |
homeostatic plasticity, and long-term depression | |
b. Models at distinct spatial scales: microscale, mesoscale, phenotypic / behaviour. | |
c. Brain-machine interface algorithms that relate neuronal activity to behaviour. | |
Future directions | a. Experiments and models that link the multiple spatial and temporal scales of |
neuroplasticity that can be used to developed informed and optimized treatment. | |
b. Improving brain machine interface (BMI) design and developing brain machine | |
interface algorithms that enhance neuroplasticity. | |
c. More fundamental studies that examine understand the influence of movement | |
on structural and functional neuroplasticity. |
