Structural plasticity controlled by calcium based correlation detection

Structural plasticity controlled by calcium based correlation detection

Hebbian learning in cortical networks during development and adulthood relies on the presence of a mechanism to detect correlation between the presynaptic and the postsynaptic spiking activity. Recently, the calcium concentration in spines was experimentally shown to be a correlation sensitive signa...
