'Caswell Barry' 'Michael J Frank' 'Michael J Frank'] The predictive map hypothesis is a promising candidate principle for hippocampal function. A favoured formalisation of this hypothesis, called the successor representation, proposes that each place cell encodes the expected state occupancy of its target location in…

We introduce Spike Agreement Dependent Plasticity (SADP), a biologically inspired synaptic learning rule for Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) that relies on the agreement between pre- and post-synaptic spike trains rather than precise spike-pair timing. SADP generalizes classical Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity (STDP)…

Spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) is a learning rule that updates synaptic strengths based on the relative timing of pre- and post-synaptic spikes. Unlike rate-based Hebbian learning, STDP can potentially encode fast temporal correlations in neuronal activity, such as oscillations, in the functional structure of…

'Teresa Serrano-Gotarredona' 'Bernabé Linares-Barranco'] In computational neuroscience, synaptic plasticity learning rules are typically studied using the full 64-bit floating point precision computers provide. However, for dedicated hardware implementations, the precision used not only penalizes directly the required…

Despite being biologically unrealistic, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been successfully trained to perform a wide range of sensory-motor behaviors. In contrast, the performance of more biologically realistic spiking neuronal network (SNN) models trained to perform similar behaviors remains relatively…

Classical Hebbian learning puts the emphasis on joint pre- and postsynaptic activity, but neglects the potential role of neuromodulators. Since neuromodulators convey information about novelty or reward, the influence of neuromodulators on synaptic plasticity is useful not just for action learning in classical…

'Kaushik Roy'] Abstract—A fundamental feature of learning in animals is the "ability to forget" that allows an organism to perceive, model and make decisions from disparate streams of information and adapt to changing environments. Against this backdrop, we present a novel unsupervised learning mechanism ASP (Adaptive…

Neural networks with a single plastic layer employing reward modulated spike time dependent plasticity (STDP) are capable of learning simple foraging tasks. Here we demonstrate advanced pattern discrimination and continuous learning in a network of spiking neurons with multiple plastic layers. The network utilized both…

'Matthieu Gilson' 'David B. Grayden' 'Abigail Morrison'] Learning rules, such as spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), change the structure of networks of neurons based on the firing activity. A network level understanding of these mechanisms can help infer how the brain learns patterns and processes information.…

Remembering the temporal order of a sequence of events is a task easily performed by humans in everyday life, but the underlying neuronal mechanisms are unclear. This problem is particularly intriguing as human behavior often proceeds on a time scale of seconds, which is in stark contrast to the much faster millisecond…

Spike timing dependent synaptic plasticity (STDP) plays an important role in temporal information processing. Whereas our result of the previous study showed that an interconnected network with STDP plays a role in spatial information processing [1]. The role is spatial filtering. In the present study, we studied the…

Recent successes in the application of neural networks have been in Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) with deep structure and trained with back-propagation, inspired by neuroscience but very much an engineering abstraction. Traditional approaches more firmly rooted in the biology - with information flow encoded as…

Coding Networks: A Survey and Perspective Authors: ['Ali Safa'] Abstract. Recently, the use bio-plausible learning techniques such as Hebbian and Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity (STDP) have drawn significant attention for the design of compute-efficient AI systems that can continuously learn on-line at the edge. A…

Neuronal oscillatory activity has been reported in relation to a wide range of cognitive processes. In certain cases changes in oscillatory activity has been associated with pathological states. Although the specific role of these oscillations has yet to be determined, it is clear that neuronal oscillations are…

Rodent studies suggest that spike timing relative to hippocampal theta activity determines whether potentiation or depression of synapses arise. Such changes also depend on spike timing between pre- and post-synaptic neurons, known as spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP). STDP, together with theta-phase-dependent…

Synaptic plasticity is thought to be the principal mechanism underlying learning in the brain. The majority of plastic networks in computational neuroscience combine point neurons with spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) as the learning rule. However, a point neuron does not capture the complexity of dendrites.…

Reverse replay of hippocampal place cells occurs frequently at rewarded locations, suggesting its contribution to goal-directed pathway learning. Symmetric spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) in CA3 likely potentiates recurrent synapses for both forward (start to goal) and reverse (goal to start) replays during…

Large Language Models (LLMs) based on transformer architectures excel at internet-scale tasks. However, real-world scientific scenarios—such as synthetic chemistry laboratories and autonomous experimental setups—typically involve incremental data generation in batches as new chemical reactions are conducted, unlike…

Machine olfaction—the artificial replication of the sense of smell—faces significant challenges due to the absence of large, standardized training datasets. Unlike vision, language, and audio models, which benefit from extensive corpora such as ImageNet, GLUE, and AudioSet, olfaction lacks scaled equivalents and…

Complementary Learning Systems (CLS) theory suggests that the brain uses a 'neocortical' and a 'hippocampal' learning system to achieve complex behavior. These two systems are complementary in that the 'neocortical' system relies on slow learning of distributed representations while the 'hippocampal' system relies on…

Reinforcement learning (RL) is a powerful paradigm that has gained popularity across multiple domains. However, applying RL may come at a cost of multiple interactions between the agent and the environment. This cost can be especially pronounced when the single feedback from the environment is slow or computationally…
