This lesson describes spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), a biological process that adjusts the strength of connections between neurons in the brain, and how one can implement or mimic this process in a computational model. You will also find links for practical exercises at the bottom of this page.
This lesson provides a brief introduction to the Computational Modeling of Neuronal Plasticity.
In this lesson, you will be introducted to a type of neuronal model known as the leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) model.
This lesson goes over various potential inputs to neuronal synapses, loci of neural communication.
This lesson describes the how and why behind implementing integration time steps as part of a neuronal model.
In this lesson, you will learn about neural spike trains which can be characterized as having a Poisson distribution.
This lesson covers spike-rate adaptation, the process by which a neuron's firing pattern decays to a low, steady-state frequency during the sustained encoding of a stimulus.
This lesson provides a brief explanation of how to implement a neuron's refractory period in a computational model.
In this lesson, you will learn a computational description of the process which tunes neuronal connectivity strength, spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP).
This lesson reviews theoretical and mathematical descriptions of correlated spike trains.
This lesson investigates the effect of correlated spike trains on spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP).
This lesson goes over synaptic normalisation, the homeostatic process by which groups of weighted inputs scale up or down their biases.
In this lesson, you will learn about the intrinsic plasticity of single neurons.
This lesson covers short-term facilitation, a process whereby a neuron's synaptic transmission is enhanced for a short (sub-second) period.
This lesson describes short-term depression, a reduction of synaptic information transfer between neurons.
This lesson briefly wraps up the course on Computational Modeling of Neuronal Plasticity.
Maximize Your Research With Cloud Workspaces is a talk aimed at researchers who are looking for innovative ways to set up and execute their life science data analyses in a collaborative, extensible, open-source cloud environment. This panel discussion is brought to you by MetaCell and scientists from leading universities who share their experiences of advanced analysis and collaborative learning through the Cloud.
This brief video provides an introduction to the third session of INCF's Neuroinformatics Assembly 2023, focusing on how to streamling cross-platform data integration in a neuroscientific context.
This talk describes the challenges to sustained operability and success of consortia, why many of these groups flounder after just a few years, and what steps can be taken to mitigate such outcomes.
This talk discusses the BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN), taking a look specifically at how this network approaches the design, development, and maintenance of specimen and sequencing library portals.
