With STDP, a neuron embedded in a neuronal network can determine which neighboring
neurons are worth listening to by potentiating those inputs that predict its own spiking …

The discovery of long‐term potentiation (LTP) provided the first, direct evidence for long‐
lasting synaptic plasticity in the living brain. Consequently, LTP was proposed to serve as a …

Spike-timing–dependent plasticity (STDP) is considered as a primary mechanism underlying
formation of new memories during learning. Despite the growing interest in activity …

Synaptic plasticity is thought to be the principal neuronal mechanism underlying learning.
Models of plastic networks typically combine point neurons with spike-timing-dependent …

A key feature for obtaining solutions to difficult problems, insight is oftentimes vaguely
regarded as a special discontinuous intellectual process and/or a cognitive restructuring of …

Since its discovery, spike timing-dependent synaptic plasticity (STDP) has been thought to
be a primary mechanism underlying the brain's ability to learn and to form new memories …

Evidence from macaques [1] and humans [2, 3] has shown that back projections from
extrastriate areas to the primary visual area (V1) determine whether visual awareness will …

For medical and fundamental reasons, we need to understand adult brain plasticity at
several levels: structural, physiological, and behavioral. Historically, brain plasticity has …

Synaptic plasticity, a key process for memory formation, manifests itself across different time
scales ranging from a few seconds for plasticity induction up to hours or even years for …

How do the multiple cortico‐basal ganglia‐thalamo‐cortical loops interact? Are they parallel
and fully independent or controlled by an arbitrator, or are they hierarchically organized? We …
