Homeostatic plasticity and STDP: keeping a neuron's cool in a fluctuating world

Spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) offers a powerful means of forming and modifying neural circuits. Experimental and theoretical studies have demonstrated its potential usefulness for functions as varied as cortical map development, sharpening of sensory receptive fields, working memory, and...
