Paradoxical Results of Long-Term Potentiation explained by Voltage-based Plasticity Rule
Experiments have shown that the same stimulation pattern that causes Long-Term Potentiation in proximal synapses, will induce Long-Term Depression in distal ones. In order to understand these, and other, surprising observations we use a phenomenological model of Hebbian plasticity at the location of the synapse. Our computational model describes the Hebbian condition of joint activity of pre- and post-synaptic neuron in a compact form as the interaction of the glutamate trace left by a presynaptic spike with the time course of the postsynaptic voltage. We test the model using experimentally recorded dendritic voltage traces in hippocampus and neocortex. We find that the time course of the voltage in the neighborhood of a stimulated synapse is a reliable predictor of whether a stimulated synapse undergoes potentiation, depression, or no change. Our model can explain the existence of different -- at first glance seemingly paradoxical -- outcomes of synaptic potentiation and depression experiments depending on the dendritic location of the synapse and the frequency or timing of the stimulation.

Paradoxical LTP maintenance with inhibition of protein synthesis and the proteasome suggests a novel protein synthesis requirement for early LTP reversal
The transition from early long-term potentiation (E-LTP) to late LTP (L-LTP) involves protein synthesis and degradation. L-LTP is blocked by inhibiting either protein synthesis or proteasome-dependent degradation prior t…
Firing Cell: An Artificial Neuron with a Simulation of Long-Term-Potentiation-Related Memory
We propose a computational model of neuron, called firing cell (FC), properties of which cover such phenomena as attenuation of receptors for external stimuli, delay and decay of postsynaptic potentials, modification of …
Magnetic skyrmion-based synaptic devices
Magnetic skyrmions are promising candidates for next-generation information carriers, owing to their small size, topological stability, and ultralow depinning current density. A wide variety of skyrmionic device concepts…
SNAP: Stopping Catastrophic Forgetting in Hebbian Learning with Sigmoidal Neuronal Adaptive Plasticity
Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) suffer from catastrophic forgetting, where the learning of new tasks causes the catastrophic forgetting of old tasks. Existing Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, including those using Sto…
Competition for binding targets results in paradoxical effects for simultaneous activator and repressor action -- Extended Version
In the context of epigenetic transformations in cancer metastasis, a puzzling effect was recently discovered, in which the elimination (knock-out) of an activating regulatory element leads to increased (rather than decre…
