چکیده

Although our understanding of the cellular properties of mammalian neurons is increasing rapidly, the computational function of their elaborate dendritic trees is still mysterious. In recent years, experiments have shown that, in pyramidal cells, individual dendritic compartments sustain local excitation spikes.. These dendrites also support Hebbian synaptic plasticity, which depends on the precise temporal relationship between pre- and postsynaptic spikes. In this review we discuss what we consider to be a problem with Hebbian (i.e., spike-timing-dependent) plasticity. We argue that most of the spikes that occur in dendrites are not back-propagating action potentials but but local spikes, and that Hebbian plasticity caused by local spikes can undermine the functional integrity of the geometrically complex dendritic tree. We propose that the inverted Hebbian plasticity of synapses involved in local spikes, and/or local dendritic homeostatic plasticity, could prevent an unbalanced distribution of synaptic weights on the dendritic tree.

Non-Hebbian spike-timing-dependent plasticity in cerebellar circuits

Spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) provides a cellular implementation of the Hebb postulate, which states that synapses, whose activity repeatedly drives action potential firing in target cells, are potentiated. At glutamatergic synapses onto hippocampal and neocortical pyramidal cells, synaptic activation followed by spike firing in the target cell causes long-term potentiation (LTP)-as ...

طبقه‌بندی پتانسیل‌های عمل نرونی با استفاده از شبکه‌های عصبی شعاعی

Background: Studying the behavior of a society of neurons, extracting the communication mechanisms of brain with other tissues, finding treatment for some nervous system diseases and designing neuroprosthetic devices, require an algorithm to sort neuralspikes automatically. However, sorting neural spikes is a challenging task because of the low signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the spikes. The mai...

An analytic solution for a non-local initial-boundary value problem including a partial differential equation with variable coefficients

‎This paper considers a non-local initial-boundary value problem containing a first order partial differential equation with variable coefficients‎. ‎At first‎, ‎the non-self-adjoint spectral problem is derived‎. ‎Then its adjoint problem is calculated‎. ‎After that‎, ‎for the adjoint problem the associated eigenvalues and the subsequent eigenfunctions are determined‎. ‎Finally the convergence ...

A MIXED PARABOLIC WITH A NON-LOCAL AND GLOBAL LINEAR CONDITIONS

Krein [1] mentioned that for each PD equation we have two extreme operators, one is the minimal in which solution and its derivatives on the boundary are zero, the other one is the maximal operator in which there is no prescribed boundary conditions. They claim it is not possible to have a related boundary value problem for an arbitrarily chosen operator in between. They have only considered lo...
