Activity-dependent modification of synapses is a powerful mechanism for shaping and modifying the response properties of neurons, but it is also dangerous. Unless changes in synaptic strength across ...
This valuable study uses naturalistic movie-viewing fMRI and stacked encoding models to investigate sensory feature representations in autistic and non-autistic youth, showing a relative shift toward ...
Hebbian models of development and learning require both activity-dependent synaptic plasticity and a mechanism that induces competition between different synapses. One form of experimentally observed ...
