Topic: generalized BTSP

Behavioral Timescale Synaptic Plasticity (BTSP) is a type of synaptic plasticity in which large, Ca2+ plateau potentials in hippocampal pyramidal cells drive the formation of hippocampal fields such as place fields. BTSP differentiates itself from typical forms of plasticity by a) learning pre-post correlations on the timescales of seconds and b) learning in a one-to-few-shot manner. Though BTSP has been posited to be the primary driver of field formation in hippocampus, theoretical models that describe the population-level computations of hippocampus (such as the formation of "cognitive" or "
