Synaptic plasticity: taming the beast
... but that do not consistently contribute to evoking them. STDP is a synapse-specific Hebbian form of plasticity, and although we might expect that the firing-rate instabilities that plague purely Hebbian models would also occur with STDP, this is not the case. STDP can regulate both the rate and vari ...
