Structural Synaptic Plasticity Has High Memory Capacity and Can Explain Graded Amnesia, Catastrophic Forgetting, and the Spacing Effect (2014, background): “Both properties are strongly supported by experiments [4,10,21,109].”
Differentiable plasticity: training plastic neural networks with backpropagation (2018, background): “However, unlike in current approaches, in biological brains long-term learning is thought to occur (Martin et al., 2000; Liu et al., 2012) primarily through synaptic plasticity – the strengthening and weakening of connections between neurons as a result of neural activity, as carefully tuned by…”
Eligibility Traces and Plasticity on Behavioral Time Scales: Experimental Support of NeoHebbian Three-Factor Learning Rules (2018, background): “Memory formation and behavioral learning is linked to changes of synaptic connections (Martin et al., 2000).”
Human memory strength is predicted by theta-frequency phase-locking of single neurons (2010, background): “[Y/N] Have you seen this image before? [1–6] Response”
Memory and the brain. (2002, background): “This enhancement in synaptic strength, which can last for hours or even days, is known as long-term potentiation (LTP), and the molecular changes that underlie LTP are the key ingredients of memory storage.(39) Since the hippocampus is somehow involved in consolidating short-term memories into long-”
Neural Plasticity and Minimal Topologies for Reward-Based Learning (2008, background): “Although growing experimental data support this hypothesis, the richness of neural dynamics involved with synaptic modiﬁcation, and the various forms of plasticity found in brains result in a complex system to understand [8].”
Long-term depression in the CNS (2010, methodology): “To assess whether LTD has a role in a given learning and memory-related behaviour, we will simplify and adopt three criteria from the 'synaptic plasticity and memory hypothesis' (better known as the SPM hypothesis”
Addiction: a disease of learning and memory. (2005, background): “org cluding various forms of learning and memory (77, 78).”
Dynamical principles in neuroscience (2006, background): “…that activity-dependent synaptic plasticity is induced at appropriate synapses during memory formation and is both necessary and sufficient for the information storage underlying the type of memory mediated by the brain area in which that plasticity is observed see for a review Martin et al. 2000 .”
Elements of a neurobiological theory of the hippocampus: the role of activity-dependent synaptic plasticity in memory. (2003, background): “…(O'Keefe & Nadel 1978; Gaffan 2001), declarative and relational memory (Squire 1992; Eichenbaum & Cohen 2001), episodic memory (Tulving 1983; Mishkin et al. 1997; Morris & Frey 1997; Vargha-Khadem et al. 1997; Aggleton & Brown 1999) and the rapid acquisition of configural or conjunctive…”
Distinct coincidence detectors govern the corticostriatal spike timing‐dependent plasticity (2010, background): “and memory (Martin et al. 2000; Martin & Morris, 2002; Lynch, 2004), the corticostriatal long-term plasticity provides a fundamental mechanism for the function of the basal ganglia in procedural learning (Di Filippo et al.”
Backpropamine: training self-modifying neural networks with differentiable neuromodulated plasticity (2018, background): “However, in nature, the primary basis for long-term learning and memory in the brain is synaptic plasticity – the automatic modiﬁcation of synaptic weights as a function of ongoing activity (Martin et al., 2000; Liu et al., 2012).”
Synaptic plasticity in the lateral amygdala: a cellular hypothesis of fear conditioning. (2001, background): “…and synapse specificity — is commonly referred to as associative or Hebbian LTP. Hebbian LTP has gained prominence as the leading biological model of associative memory formation (see Brown et al. 1988; Bliss and Collingridge 1993; Martin et al. 2000; Hölscher 2001; Rogan et al. 2001).”
