Energy efficient synaptic plasticity (2019)
Other
Many aspects of the brain’s design can be understood as the result of evolutionary drive towards efficient use of metabolic energy. In addition to the energetic costs of neural computation and transmission, experimental evidence indicates that synapt... Read More about Energy efficient synaptic plasticity.
Self-organised reactivation maintains and reinforces memories despite synaptic turnover (2019)
Journal Article
Long-term memories are believed to be stored in the synapses of cortical neuronal networks. However, recent experiments report continuous creation and removal of cortical synapses, which raises the question how memories can survive on such a variable...

Slowdown of BCM plasticity with many synapses (2019)
Journal Article
During neural development sensory stimulation induces long-term changes in the receptive field of the neurons that encode the stimuli. The Bienenstock-Cooper-Munro (BCM) model was introduced to model and analyze this process computationally, and it r... Read More about Slowdown of BCM plasticity with many synapses.
