Numerical Simulation: Fluctuation in Background Synaptic Activity Regulates Synaptic Plasticity

Synaptic plasticity is vital for learning and memory in the brain. It consists of long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD). Spike frequency is one of the major components of synaptic plasticity in the brain, a noisy environment. Recently, we mathematically analyzed the frequency-d...
