A Globally Asymptotically Stable Plasticity Rule for Firing Rate Homeostasis

چکیده
How can neural circuits maintain stable activity states when they are constantly being modified by Hebbian processes that are notorious for being unstable? A new synaptic plasticity mechanism is presented here that enables a neuron to obtain homeostasis of its firing rate over longer timescales while leaving the neuron free to exhibit fluctuating dynamics in response to external inputs. Mathematical results demonstrate that this rule is globally asymptotically stable. Performance of the rule is benchmarked through simulations from single neuron to network level, using sigmoidal neurons as well as spiking neurons with dynamic synapses.

A Calcium-Dependent Plasticity Rule for HCN Channels Maintains Activity Homeostasis and Stable Synaptic Learning
Theoretical and computational frameworks for synaptic plasticity and learning have a long and cherished history, with few parallels within the well-established literature for plasticity of voltage-gated ion channels. In this study, we derive rules for plasticity in the hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels, and assess the synergy between synaptic and HCN channel pla...
متن کاملSynaptic Plasticity in Neural Networks Needs Homeostasis with a Fast Rate Detector
Hebbian changes of excitatory synapses are driven by and further enhance correlations between pre- and postsynaptic activities. Hence, Hebbian plasticity forms a positive feedback loop that can lead to instability in simulated neural networks. To keep activity at healthy, low levels, plasticity must therefore incorporate homeostatic control mechanisms. We find in numerical simulations of recurr...
متن کاملStability Analysis and Optimal Control of Vaccination and Treatment of a SIR Epidemiological Deterministic Model with Relapse
In this paper, we studied and formulated the relapsed SIR model of a constant size population with standard incidence rate. Also, the optimal control problem with treatment and vaccination as controls, subject to the model is formulated. The analysis carried out on the model, clearly showed that the infection free steady state is globally asymptotically stable if the bas...
متن کاملNew implementation of a non-associated flow rule in rate-independent plasticity
One of the new research fields in plasticity is related to choosing a proper non-associated flow rule (NAFR), instead of the associated one (AFR), to predict the experimental results more accurately. The idea of the current research is derived from combining von Mises and Tresca criteria in the places of yield and plastic potential surfaces in rate-independent plasticity. This idea is implemen...
متن کاملMathematical modeling of optimized SIRS epidemic model and some dynamical behavior of the solution
In this paper, a generalized mathematical model of spread of infectious disease as SIRS epidemic model is considered as a nonlinear system of differential equation. We prove that for positive initial conditions the resulting equivalence system has positive solution and under some hypothesis, this system with initial positive condition, has a positive $T$-periodic solution which is globally asym...
