On co-dependent excitatory and inhibitory plasticity - with Tim Vogels - #30
Manage episode 495257173 series 3562348
Synaptic plasticity underlies several key brain functions including learning, information filtering and homeostatic regulation of overall neural activity.
While several mathematical rules have been developed for plasticity both at excitatory and inhibitory synapses, it has been difficult to make such rules co-exist in network models.
Recently the group of the guest has explored how co-dependent plasticity rules can remedy the situation and, for example, assure that long-term memories can be stored in excitatory synapses while inhibitory synapses assure long-term stability.
