Synaptic plasticity: taming the beast
Abstract
Synaptic plasticity provides the basis for most models of learning, memory and development in neural circuits. To generate realistic results, synapse-specific Hebbian forms of plasticity, such as long-term potentiation and depression, must be augmented by global processes that regulate overall levels of neuronal and network activity. Regulatory processes are often as important as the more intensively studied Hebbian processes in determining the consequences of synaptic plasticity for network function. Recent experimental results suggest several novel mechanisms for regulating levels of activity in conjunction with Hebbian synaptic modification. We review three of them-synaptic scaling, spike-timing dependent plasticity and synaptic redistribution-and discuss their functional implications.

Many forms of correlation-based plasticity have been described biologically, and each is likely to introduce its own unique destabilizing influences on neural circuit function.
“Many forms of correlation-based plasticity have now been described biologically, and each is likely to introduce its own unique destabilizing influences on neural circuit function (Abbott and Nelson 2000).”

LTP and LTD generate a powerful destabilizing force on network function.
“synapse-specific correlation-based plasticity mechanisms such as long-term potentiation (LTP) and depression (LTD) are widely thought to contribute to learning and information storage, but theoreticians have long appreciated that they generate a powerful destabilizing force on network function (Miller and MacKay 1994;Abbott and Nelson 2000).”
From Homeostatic Synaptic Plasticity: Local and Global Mechanisms for Stabilizing Neuronal Function (2012) · cites this paper as Abbott and Nelson 2000
The locus of change during homeostatic plasticity has important consequences for circuit function, because presynaptic changes in release probability affect short-term plasticity and dynamics of information transfer, whereas postsynaptic changes in receptor accumulation can scale postsynaptic responsiveness without affecting short-term dynamics.
“The locus of change during homeostatic plasticity has important consequences for circuit function, because (for example) presynaptic changes in release probability will strongly affect short-term plasticity and thus the dynamics of information transfer across synapses, whereas a postsynaptic change in receptor accumulation can scale postsynaptic responsiveness without affecting the short-term”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
