learning. Existing plasticity models are either (1) top-down and interpretable, but not flexible …

Enhancement of spike-timing-dependent plasticity in spiking neural systems with noise

S Nobukawa, H Nishimura - International journal of neural systems, 2016 - World Scientific
Synaptic plasticity is widely recognized to support adaptable information processing in the
brain. Spike-timing-dependent plasticity, one subtype of plasticity, can lead to synchronous …

Small-volume effect enables robust, sensitive, and efficient information transfer in the spine

M Fujii, K Ohashi, Y Karasawa, M Hikichi, S Kuroda - Biophysical journal, 2017 - cell.com
Why is the spine of a neuron so small that it can contain only small numbers of molecules
and reactions inevitably become stochastic? We previously showed that, despite such noisy …

Synchronization stability and firing transitions in two types of class I neuronal networks with short-term plasticity

H Zhang, Q Wang, X He, G Chen - Neural networks, 2014 - Elsevier
This paper investigates synchronization stability and firing transition in two types of the
modified canonical class I neuronal networks, where the short-term plasticity of synapse is …

NMDAR-mediated Ca2+ increase shows robust information transfer in dendritic spines

T Tottori, M Fujii, S Kuroda - Biophysical journal, 2019 - cell.com
A dendritic spine is a small structure on the dendrites of a neuron that processes input timing
information from other neurons. Tens of thousands of spines are present on a neuron. Why …
