Classification of Plasticity: Short-term vs. Long-term Changes

This lecture by the instructor covers the classification of synaptic changes, focusing on short-term and long-term plasticity. It delves into the dynamics of synaptic plasticity, including Hebbian learning rules, spike-timing models, and the induction and persistence of changes. The lecture also explores the functionality of these changes in learning new behaviors, forming memories, and controlling network activity. Additionally, it discusses unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, and the role of neuromodulators in synaptic plasticity.
