Meaning of "Real-time Plasticity"

Topic
This article discusses the meaning of the term "Real-time Plasticity" in the context of change in conscious experience.

Definitions
"Real-time plasticity" or "RTP" has been defined as:
 * Real-time plasticity is a neural phenomenon that supports change in conscious experience. Every neuron in the brain has a cytoskeleton that includes components such as microtubules and actin filaments. In general, every neuron also has synapses at which its axon provides signals to dendrites of other neurons and at which its dendrites receive signals from axons of other neurons, and the neuron's cytoskeleton plays a central role in constructing and operating axons, dendrites, and synapses. Under recent proposals, microtubules and other cytoskeletal/synaptic components can interact in concert with changes in conscious experience; in this Wiki, the term “real-time plasticity” (“RTP”) refers to interactions of this type.
