Neural populations exposed to a certain stimulus learn to represent it better. However, the process that leads local, self-organized rules to do so is unclear. We address the question of how can a neural periodic input be learned and use the Differential Hebbian Learning framework, coupled with a homeostatic mechanism to derive two self-consistency equations that lead to increased responses to the same stimulus. Although all our simulations are done with simple Leaky-Integrate and Fire neurons and standard Spiking Time Dependent Plasticity learning rules, our results can be easily interpreted in terms of rates and population codes.
We show that the local Spike Timing-Dependent Plasticity (STDP) rule has the effect of regulating the trans-synaptic weights of loops of any length within a simulated network of neurons. We show that depending on STDPs polarity, functional loops are
Rhythmic activity has been associated with a wide range of cognitive processes. Previous studies have shown that spike-timing-dependent plasticity can facilitate the transfer of rhythmic activity downstream the information processing pathway. However
Latency reduction of postsynaptic spikes is a well-known effect of Synaptic Time-Dependent Plasticity. We expand this notion for long postsynaptic spike trains, showing that, for a fixed input spike train, STDP reduces the number of postsynaptic spik
Coarse-graining microscopic models of biological neural networks to obtain mesoscopic models of neural activities is an essential step towards multi-scale models of the brain. Here, we extend a recent theory for mesoscopic population dynamics with st
Brain plasticity refers to brains ability to change neuronal connections, as a result of environmental stimuli, new experiences, or damage. In this work, we study the effects of the synaptic delay on both the coupling strengths and synchronisation in
