Optimal recall from bounded metaplastic synapses: predicting functional adaptations in hippocampal area CA3.

A venerable history of classical work on autoassociative memory has significantly shaped our understanding of several features of the hippocampus, and most prominently of its CA3 area, in relation to memory storage and retrieval. However, existing theories of hippocampal memory processing ignore a k...
