Neuroplasticity is the same idea?[edit]

How is this concept distinct from Neuroplasticity?makeswell (talk) 16:32, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The focus is entirely the same, but the neuroplasticity is way more complete. The current article contains a few bits of information that could improve the other one. I propose to merge both. Nicolas Le Novère (talk) 13:55, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Activity-dependent plasticity is often seen in the field as one of the possible mechanisms of plasticity. It constitues the "fast" reaction of the synapse/cell/network to new patterns of activity. Later on, slower, homeostatic mechanisms of plasticity are thought to dominate. Hence, activity-dependent plasticity is a subcategory of neural plasticity. Perhaps this view should be made explicit in the two articles. However, ultimately all synaptic change (other than age-dependent drift) must be a response to activity, so merging the two articles is not completely unreasonable, with the provision that homeostatic plasticity will also be covered. vkehayas 15:02, 5 April 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vkehayas (talk • contribs)

I've just read an article about how myelin plasticity contributes to the overall cognitive ability. Should this be incorporated in the article? [1] --TadejM ^{my talk} 18:48, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
