Neurobiology: Homeostasis or synaptic plasticity?
Yves Frégnac1
Almost 50 years ago, Hebb1 proposed that during development, learning and perception, correlated activity induces long-lasting strengthening in synaptic transmission. Remarkably, however, neurobiologists inspired by Hebb's principle have sought only one side of the regulatory process — that is, synapse-specific changes in synaptic strengths.
