Dopamine-enabled anti-Hebbian timing-dependent plasticity in prefrontal circuitry

Spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) of glutamatergic synapses is a Hebbian associative plasticity that may underlie certain forms of learning. A cardinal feature of STDP is its dependence on the temporal order of presynaptic and postsynaptic spikes during induction: pre-post (positive) pairings...
