Memories in a network with excitatory and inhibitory plasticity are encoded in the spiking irregularity.

Cell assemblies are thought to be the substrate of memory in the brain. Theoretical studies have previously shown that assemblies can be formed in networks with multiple types of plasticity. But how exactly they are formed and how they encode information is yet to be fully understood. One possibilit...
