Cerebellar long-term depression (LTD) and cortical spike-timing-dependent synaptic plasticity (STDP) are two well-known and well-characterized types of synaptic plasticity. Induction of both types of synaptic plasticity depends on the spike timing...

The development of direction selectivity in the visual system depends on visual experience. In the developing Xenopus retinotectal system, tectal neurons (TNs) become direction selective through spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) after repet...
STDP (spike-timing-dependent synaptic plasticity) is thought to be a synaptic learning rule that embeds spike-timing information into a specific pattern of synaptic strengths in neuronal circuits, resulting in a memory. STDP consists of bidirectio...

Spike timing-dependent synaptic plasticity (STDP) plays an important role in neural development and information processing in the brain; however, the mechanism by which spike timing information is encoded into STDP remains unclear. Here, we show t...

The propagation of highly synchronous firings across neuronal networks, called the synfire chain, has been actively studied both theoretically and experimentally. The temporal accuracy and remarkable stability of the propagation have been repeated...
