Current opinion in neurobiology, 2000•ElsevierDuring the past few years, much attention has been given to the role of short-term synaptic
plasticity, in particular depression and facilitation, in sculpting network activity. A recent study
shows that synaptic depression in rhythmic motor networks could switch the control of
network frequency from intrinsic neuronal properties to the synaptic dynamics. Short-term
synaptic plasticity is also involved in the stabilization and reconfiguration of motor circuits
and in the initiation, maintenance and modulation of motor programs.
