Adaptive learning and decision-making under uncertainty by metaplastic synapses guided by a surprise detection system

Recent experiments have shown that animals and humans have a remarkable ability to adapt their learning rate according to the volatility of the environment. Yet the neural mechanism responsible for such adaptive learning has remained unclear. To fill this gap, we investigated a biophysically inspire...
