Single neurons in the kitten visual cortex can be induced to increase their responsiveness to a repeated stimulus applied while the neurons are under observation. These short-term changes are in the same direction as the permanent modifications produced in whole populations of neurons following environmental manipulations during the "critical period" of cortical development, but are less pronounced and probably transient.
在小猫视觉皮层中的单个神经元，在被观察时，可被诱导增加其对重复施加刺激的反应性。这些短期变化与在皮层发育的“关键期”期间，经过环境操纵后，整个神经元群体所产生的永久性变化方向相同，但程度较轻且可能是短暂的。
