Topic: firing-rate dependent plasticity

Modification of synaptic connections is thought to be the core mechanism of long-term memory formation. Despite the recent experimental development, there are still challenges inferring the synaptic plasticity rule from the experimental data. Here, we considered a biologically plausible synaptic plasticity model, and explored its key properties that enable efficient inference. As a recent theoretical work suggested the firing rates to be the most critical under in vivo-like conditions, we considered firing-rate dependent plasticity and its matrix representation. To enable efficient recovery
