The paper shows that symmetric STDP with short-term plasticity biases synaptic transmission during reverse replay, enhancing goal-directed spatial memory in a T-maze.

The paper shows that redundant synaptic connections allow neurons to learn optimally through synaptic plasticity and rewiring, approximating particle filtering.

The paper investigates how hippocampal CA1 neurons dynamically represent and stabilize spatial maps in mice learning a virtual-reality navigation task, showing that salient experiences like rewards reshape these maps through selective consolidation.

The paper improves cell activity estimation in calcium imaging data using non-negative matrix decomposition with shrinkage estimation and enhanced initialization methods.

The paper shows that heterosynaptic spike-timing-dependent plasticity achieves detailed excitatory/inhibitory balance on dendritic branches and explains inhibitory neuron maturation effects on excitatory neuron selectivity.

This paper introduces a method to detect cell-assembly sequences in neural activity without external references, revealing new structures in rat prefrontal cortex during goal-directed behavior.

The paper shows that combining Hebbian synaptic weight plasticity with wiring plasticity leads to efficient and robust network structures for inference tasks.
