This volume will explore the most recent findings on cellular mechanisms of inhibitory plasticity and its functional role in shaping neuronal circuits, their rewiring in response to experience, drug addiction and in neuropathology. Inhibitory Synaptic Plasticity will be of particular interest to neuroscientists and neurophysiologists. 1. Summarizes and integrates studies that examine the induction, expression and functional role of inhibitory synaptic plasticity at different organizational levels (from the neuron to the circuit) 2. Material clearly divided by theme into four parts that highlight the major functions of inhibitory synaptic plasticity: Refinement, Addition, Pain & Injury, and Learning & Memory 3. Brings together a large portion of the current thinking about the plasticity of inhibitory synapses INDICE: Refinement.The many faces of inhibitory plasticity: adding flexibility to cortical circuits throughout development.Long-term modification at inhibitory synapses in developing visual cortex.Molecular Mechanism of Long-Term Plasticity at Cerebellar Inhibitory Synapses. Inhibitory plasticity and auditory function.- Addiction.VTA GABAergic Plasticity: An Inhibitory Synaptic Modelof Drug Addiction.Midbrain Dopamine Neurons: Implications for the Developmentof Alcohol-Seeking Behaviors.- Pain and Injury.Mechanisms of plasticity of inhibition in chronic pain conditions.Injury induced epileptogenesis: Contribution of active inhibition, disfacilitation and deafferentation to seizure induction in thalamocortical system. Cellular Mechanisms of Neuronal Cl- Homeostasisand its Modulation by Neuronal Injury.- Learning and Memory.Activity-Dependent Inhibitory Synaptic Plasticity Mediated by Chloride Regulation.Endocannabinoid mediated long-term depression at inhibitory synapses.Inhibitory Synaptic Plasticity & Neurotrophins.
