activity-dependent change in a neuron's own excitability through its ion channels, as distinct from change in synaptic strength.

In neuroscience, intrinsic plasticity refers to activity-dependent change in a neuron's own excitability through its ion channels, as distinct from change in synaptic strength. This meaning comes from Desai (1999) in Nature Neuroscience.[1]
