Rate and pulse based plasticity governed by local synaptic state variables

Classically, action-potential-based learning paradigms such as the Bienenstock-Cooper-Munroe (BCM) rule for pulse rates or spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP) for pulse pairings have been experimentally demonstrated to evoke long-lasting synaptic weight changes (i.e. plasticity). However, sever...
