Modeling and Analyzing Spike Timing Dependent Plasticity with Linear Hybrid Automata
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a model for synaptic plasticity according to the Spike Timing Dependent Plasticity (STDP) theory using Linear Hybrid Automata (LHA). We first present a compositional LHA model in which each component corresponds to some process in STDP. We then abstract this model into a monolithic LHA model in order to enable formal analysis using hybrid model checking. We discuss how the availability of an LHA model as well as its formal analysis using the tool PHAVer can support a better understanding of the dynamics of STDP.

Spike timing dependent plasticity: mechanisms, significance, and controversies
Long-term modification of synaptic strength is one of the basic mechanisms of memory formation and activity-dependent refinement of neural circuits. This idea was purposed by Hebb to provide a basis for the formation of a cell assembly. Repetitive correlated activity of pre-synaptic and post-synaptic neurons can induce long-lasting synaptic strength modification, the direction and extent of whi...

متن کاملReward-modulated spike-timing-dependent plasticity with a dynamic spike timing rule and inhibitory plasticity
The viability of spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) to explain learning processes is controversial, although recent developments of reward-modulated STDP (RM-STDP) models provide a plausible substrate. However, evidence has also emerged to show that rewards themselves can modify the STDP rule. In this modeling study, we use a dynamic STDP rule to show that such modification can lead to ne...
متن کاملEnhancement of synchronization in a hybrid neural circuit by spike-timing dependent plasticity.
Synchronization of neural activity is fundamental for many functions of the brain. We demonstrate that spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) enhances synchronization (entrainment) in a hybrid circuit composed of a spike generator, a dynamic clamp emulating an excitatory plastic synapse, and a chemically isolated neuron from the Aplysia abdominal ganglion. Fixed-phase entrainment of the Aplys...
متن کاملTimed I/O Automata: A Mathematical Framework for Modeling and Analyzing Real-Time Systems
We describe the Timed Input/Output Automata (TIOA) framework, a general mathematical framework for modeling and analyzing real-time systems. It is based on timed I/O automata, which engage in both discrete transitions and continuous trajectories. The framework includes a notion of external behavior, and notions of composition and abstraction. We define safety and liveness properties for timed I...
