Spike timing dependent plasticity
|
|
Spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP) is a form of synaptic plasticity naturally occurring in neurons. The STDP is a highly non-linear phenomenon. It is believed to strengthen synapses that are activated within 20-40 ms before a postsynaptic spike, and to weaken those that are activated within a similar time window after the spike.
