Self-Organization of Microcircuits in Networks of Spiking Neurons with Plastic Synapses.

The synaptic connectivity of cortical networks features an overrepresentation of certain wiring motifs compared to simple random-network models. This structure is shaped, in part, by synaptic plasticity that promotes or suppresses connections between neurons depending on their joint spiking activity...
