Associative learning of classical conditioning as an emergent property of spatially extended spiking neural circuits with synaptic plasticity

Associative learning of temporally disparate events is of fundamental importance for perceptual and cognitive functions. Previous studies of the neural mechanisms of such association have been mainly focused on individual neurons or synapses, often with an assumption that there is persistent neural...
