For more information, see Hawk et al., Neuron 97/2, http://www.cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S0896-6273(17)31174-1. Neural plasticity—the ability of neurons to change their cellular properties in response to past experiences—underpins memory. In this video, Hawk et al. explain how C. elegans integrate two forms of plasticity—sensory adaptation and presynaptic plasticity—within a single neuron to represent sensory stimuli and guide memory-based behavioral preference.
