Eugene M. Izhikevich (2007) Solving the Distal Reward Problem through Linkage of STDP and Dopamine Signaling Cerebral Cortex October 2007;17:2443--2452 ================================================================================================== -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "All simulations are carried out using a network of 1000 spiking neurons described in detail by Izhikevich (2006), who provides the MATLAB and C code. The code is also available on the authorfs web page www.izhikevich.com." Izhikevich E. M. 2006 Polychronization: computation with spikes. Neural Comput. 18:245--282. Polychronization computation-with-spikes => ok -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "This low frequency of firing is important for the "low probability" of sequential spikes to fall within the STDP time window by chance" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The time course of a typical unreinforced synapse looks like a random walk near 0."
