Rhythmic activity has been observed in numerous animal species ranging from insects to humans, and relation a wide range of cognitive tasks. Various experimental theoretical studies have investigated rhythmic activity. The efforts mainly focused on the neuronal dynamics, under assumption that network connectivity satisfies certain fine-tuning conditions required generate oscillations. However, ...

Recent experimental evidence suggests that synaptic plasticity depends on the precise timing of pre- and post-synaptic activity. In this paper, an iterative model for a multiplicative form of this spike-timing-dependent plasticity (mSTDP) is introduced. This model is incorporated into a neural network with many input cells coupled via excitation to a single output cell. Analysis of this network...
