Building a realistic, scalable memory model with independent engrams using a homeostatic mechanism
Frontiers in NeuroinformaticsMemory formation is usually associated with Hebbian learning and synaptic plasticity, which changes the synaptic strengths but omits structural changes.

The effect of heterogeneity on decorrelation mechanisms in spiking neural networks: a neuromorphic-hardware study [PDF]
, 2014 High-level brain function such as memory, classification or reasoning can be realized by means of recurrent networks of simplified model neurons. Analog neuromorphic hardware constitutes a fast and energy efficient substrate for the implementation of ...

Dynamin-dependent NMDAR endocytosis during LTD and its dependence on synaptic state
BMC Neuroscience, 2005 Background The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-type glutamate receptor expressed at excitatory glutamatergic synapses is required for learning and memory and is critical for normal brain function.

Double Inverse Stochastic Resonance with Dynamic Synapses
, 2016 We investigate the behavior of a model neuron that receives a biophysically-realistic noisy post-synaptic current based on uncorrelated spiking activity from a large number of afferents.

The Effect of Different Forms of Synaptic Plasticity on Pattern Recognition in the Cerebellar Cortex [PDF]
, 2009 “The original publication is available at www.springerlink.com”. Copyright Springer.Many cerebellar learning theories assume that long-term depression (LTD) of synapses between parallel fibres (PFs) and Purkinje cells (PCs) provides the basis for pattern

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2009 Early in postnatal life correlated GABAergic activity in the hippocampus is thought to play a crucial role in synaptogenesis and in the development of adult neuronal networks. Unlike adulthood, at this developmental stage, mossy fibers (MF) which are the

Electrophysiological Organization of the Eye of Aplysia [PDF]
, 1969 The eye of Aplysia californica was studied by electrophysiological and histological methods. It has a central spheroidal lens which is surrounded by a retina composed of several thousand receptor cells which are replete with clear vesicles, pigmented ...

Silent synapses in pain-related anterior cingulate cortex
Molecular Pain, 2023 Synaptic plasticity such as Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a key mechanism for learning in central synapses including the cortex. There are two least two major forms of LTPs: presynaptic LTP and postsynaptic LTP. For postsynaptic LTP, the potentiation of AMPA receptor-mediated responses through protein phosphorylation is thought to be a key mechanism.

Progressive maturation of silent synapses governs the duration of a critical period [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015 Significance During critical periods, cortical neural circuits are refined to optimize their functional properties. The prevailing notion is that the balance between excitation and inhibition determines the onset and closure of critical periods.
