Topic: spiking autoassociative networks

The brain stores a large number of memories, which are recalled through external stimuli or spontaneously during memory replay, a process essential for memory consolidation. Memory storage has traditionally been attributed to excitatory synaptic plasticity and the effect of inhibitory plasticity on memory capacity and recall remains underexplored. To elucidate how inhibitory plasticity affects memory capacity and recall, we compare two inhibitory plasticity rules in spiking autoassociative networks: a homeostatic plasticity rule and a rule that maintains firing rate heterogeneity.
