Abstract: The article discusses the neuromuscular junction plasticity underlies motor memory. Topics discussed include Animals quickly adapt motor behaviors in response to sensory feedback; and this has been demonstrated in rats: if the tibialis anterior muscle is electrically shocked every time the leg is lowered, the animals learn to keep the muscle flexed for prolonged periods.
