Abstract
Plasticity in invertebrate sensory systems
Highlights
The Research Topic presented in this issue of Frontiers in Invertebrate Physiology is on Plasticity in Invertebrate Sensory Systems and comprises a total of eight articles
The phenomenon of plasticity occurs in the adult nervous system, after injury—lesion-induced plasticity—and after stimulation—experience-induced plasticity
Plasticity can be a process reflecting rhythmic changes in the environment, either during the day and night or in the seasons throughout the year. This type of plasticity is driven by rhythmic changes in the external environment—daily plasticity—and/or it may be generated endogenously, by circadian clocks—circadian plasticity
Summary
The Research Topic presented in this issue of Frontiers in Invertebrate Physiology is on Plasticity in Invertebrate Sensory Systems and comprises a total of eight articles. These cover various aspects of sensory plasticity observed at the level of neurons and in behavioral adaptations that result from plastic changes in the nervous system. Neuronal plasticity has been reported in both vertebrate and invertebrate nervous systems and has mostly been documented during development.
