摘要
Synaptic plasticity is believed to underlie the formation of appropriate patterns of connectivity that stabilize stimulus-selective reverberations in the cortex. Here we present a general quantitative framework for studying the process of learning and memorizing of patterns of mean spike rates. General considerations based on the limitations of material (biological or electronic) synaptic devices show that most learning networks share the palimpsest property: old stimuli are forgotten to make room for the new ones. In order to prevent too-fast forgetting, one can introduce a stochastic mechanism for selecting only a small fraction of synapses to be changed upon the presentation of a stimulus. Such a mechanism can be easily implemented by exploiting the noisy fluctuations in the pre- and postsynaptic activities to be encoded. The spike-driven synaptic dynamics described here can implement such a selection mechanism to achieve slow learning, which is shown to maximize the performance of the network as an associative memory.
