[T]he data indicate that habituation and dishabituation (sensitization) both involve a change in the functional effectiveness of previously existing excitatory connections. Thus, at least in the simple cases,…[t]he capability for behavioral modification seems to be built directly into the neural architecture of the behavioral reflex. Finally, these studies strengthen the assumption…that a prerequisite for studying behavioral modification is the analysis of the wiring diagram underlying the behavior. We have, indeed, found that once the wiring diagram of the behavior is known, the analysis of
