Primes¶
- Metaplasticity
- In neuroscience, the origin, synaptic plasticity itself adapts: prior strong activity raises the threshold for further potentiation and lowers it for depression — a sliding threshold — without which runaway potentiation would destabilize networks.
This sourceCoins and defines metaplasticity—prior activity modulating the threshold and direction of subsequent synaptic plasticity (a sliding threshold preventing runaway potentiation).

Mechanisms¶
- Pre-Window Priming Protocol
- It draws on the logic of metaplasticity
This sourceDefines metaplasticity as synaptic or cellular activity producing a persistent change in the ability to induce subsequent synaptic plasticity.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
