The paper shows that combining different STDP rules generates diverse neural network motifs, but no single rule can produce all possible structures.

The paper shows how inhibitory synaptic plasticity rules can stabilize neural activity and generate structured excitatory-inhibitory connectivity motifs in recurrent neural networks.

The paper shows that variability in macaque V1 neurons reflects probabilistic inference tuned to natural image statistics, explaining variance-mean relationships and spatial context modulation.
