STDP as presynaptic activity times rate of change of postsynaptic activity
We introduce a weight update formula that is expressed only in terms of firing rates and their derivatives and that results in changes consistent with those associated with spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) rules and biological observations, even though the explicit timing of spikes is not needed. The new rule changes a synaptic weight in proportion to the product of the presynaptic firing rate and the temporal rate of change of activity on the postsynaptic side. These quantities are interesting for studying theoretical explanation for synaptic changes from a machine learning perspective. In particular, if neural dynamics moved neural activity towards reducing some objective function, then this STDP rule would correspond to stochastic gradient descent on that objective function.

On the Spontaneous Dynamics of Synaptic Weights in Stochastic Models with Pair-Based STDP
We investigate spike-timing dependent plasticity (STPD) in the case of a synapse connecting two neural cells. We develop a theoretical analysis of several STDP rules using Markovian theory. In this context there are two …
Multicoding in neural information transfer suggested by mathematical analysis of the frequency-dependent synaptic plasticity in vivo
Two elements of neural information processing have primarily been proposed: firing rate and spike timing of neurons. In the case of synaptic plasticity, although spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) depending on pres…
Tracking fast and slow changes in synaptic weights from simultaneously observed pre- and postsynaptic spiking
Synapses change on multiple timescales, ranging from milliseconds to minutes, due to a combination of both short- and long-term plasticity. Here we develop an extension of the common Generalized Linear Model to infer bot…
