Stability versus Neuronal Specialization for STDP: Long-Tail Weight Distributions Solve the Dilemma
Spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) modifies the weight (or strength) of synaptic connections between neurons and is considered to be crucial for generating network structure. It has been observed in physiology that, in addition to spike timing, the weight update also depends on the current value of the weight. The functional implications of this feature are still largely unclear. Additive...
متن کاملA stability property of Weibull tail-distributions
We exhibit a new stability property of Weibull tail-distributions. It is shown that the power of a random variable with a Weibull tail-distribution still has a Weibull tail-distribution and the associated Weibull tail-coefficient is exhibited. Weibull tail-distributions are defined through their distribution function by:
متن کاملSTDP in Recurrent Neuronal Networks
Recent results about spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) in recurrently connected neurons are reviewed, with a focus on the relationship between the weight dynamics and the emergence of network structure. In particular, the evolution of synaptic weights in the two cases of incoming connections for a single neuron and recurrent connections are compared and contrasted. A theoretical framewor...
متن کاملMemory retention--the synaptic stability versus plasticity dilemma.
Memory maintenance is widely believed to involve long-term retention of the synaptic weights that are set within relevant neural circuits during learning. However, despite recent exciting technical advances, it has not yet proved possible to confirm experimentally this intuitively appealing hypothesis. Artificial neural networks offer an alternative methodology as they permit continuous monitor...
متن کاملEmotions Help Solve the Prisoner’s Dilemma
Many philosophies treat emotions as the polar opposite of logic, and an economist would judge emotions as irrational. Taking an evolutionary perspective informs us that emotion is no less rational than any other behaviour, and likely evolved to maximize lifetime utility. Frank (1988) argues that emotions evolved to enable us to sacrifice a short-term benefit for a longer-term gain. Frank’s work...
