Many aspects of long-term plasticity have been reproduced and analyzed using a conceptually simplified version of this network reduced to only two components--a pair of monosynaptically connected sensory-motor neurons (Rayport and Schacher, 1986).

However, it was also shown that stimulation of the brain inhibitory systems results in the enhancement of neuron hyperpolarization in various brain structures, either monosynaptically or via small number of switches (Clemente, 1968).
