Inferring spike-timing-dependent plasticity from spike train data
... For τ− > τ+ this corresponds to a more general Hebbian rule, where synapses are strengthened whenever pre- and post-synaptic spikes occur in close proximity. When spikes do not occur in close proximity the synapse is weakened. In this case, the parameters A+ , A− , τ+ , and τ− determine the magnitud ...
