with the ability to raise the animals in the laboratory , we have explored the development of four types of plastic mechanisms at identified synapses : post-tetanic potentiation and pre-synaptic inhibition , which do not as yet have known behavioral functions , and homosynaptic depression , the cellular mechanism of short-term habituation , and heterosynaptic facilitation , the basis of short-term sensitization .
