Biologically Plausible Dopamine-Modulated STDP Model of Pavlovian Learning in Spiking Neural Networks
This paper proposes a dopamine-modulated STDP model that explains how neural networks learn through reward associations, showing that dopamine nonlinearly reshapes the STDP window and supports learning only within biologically realistic dopamine concentrations.
