Hebbian synapses in visual cortex.
We discovered in slices of rat visual cortex that reliable long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic responses in layer III could be elicited by theta burst stimulation delivered to a site in the middle of the cortical thickness, corresponding mainly to layer IV. This synaptic plasticity was reflected in the extracellular field potentials and intracellular EPSPs in layer III, but was not observe...
متن کاملAssociative Hebbian synaptic plasticity in primate visual cortex.
In primates, the functional connectivity of adult primary visual cortex is susceptible to be modified by sensory training during perceptual learning. It is widely held that this type of neural plasticity might involve mechanisms like long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD). NMDAR-dependent forms of LTP and LTD are particularly attractive because in rodents they can be induce...
متن کاملHebbian Learning in Feedback Networks: Development within Visual Cortex
There is controversy as to the development of columnar structure in primary visual cortex. Various experiments showed the important role of cortex interconnection in developing the columnar structure. We proposed a model of Hebbian development within visual cortex. In this model, the columnar structure originates from symmetry breaking in feedback pathways within an area of cortex, rather than ...
متن کاملDo Hebbian synapses estimate entropy?
Hebbian learning is one of the mainstays of biologically inspired neural processing. Hebb’s rule is biologically plausible, and it has been extensively utilized in both computational neuroscience and in unsupervised training of neural systems. In these fields, Hebbian learning became synonymous for correlation learning. But it is known that correlation is a second order statistic of the data, s...
متن کاملDifferential depression at excitatory and inhibitory synapses in visual cortex.
The function of cortical circuits depends critically on the balance between excitation and inhibition. This balance reflects not only the relative numbers of excitatory and inhibitory synapses but also their relative strengths. Recent studies of excitatory synapses in visual and somatosensory cortices have emphasized that synaptic strength is not a fixed quantity but is a dynamic variable that ...
