I think with plasticity you're talking in general you're talking about the entire brain you're talking about altering you know a trillion synapses all in a similar way in their tendency to be rewireable to their tendency to be up or down weighted and an electrical stimulation Target in the brain necessarily has to be focused you know with a device like potentially Neural links there might be a more broad ability to steer current to multiple targets with some degree of control but you're never going to get that broad um Target ability with uh any electrodes that I can see coming in our lifetimes so say that would be coding the entire surface and depth of the brain the way that a drug can and so I think plasticity research will bear the most fruit when it focuses on pharmacologic agents
