Neuro-neophytes need not be deterred by “ . . . in the somatosensory cortex of rats, the critical period for the reorganization of the barrel cells in response to haptic stimulation from the vibrissae is essentially coterminous with the period when LTP can be induced in those cells” (p. 70). The content of this volume more than compensates for any difficult passages, raising enough issues to generate discussion as well as fuel further research by those who know their ERPs from their ECPs.
