Assemblies, synapse clustering and network topology interact with plasticity to explain structure-function relationships of the cortical connectome

Eilif Benjamin Muller, Michael Reimann, James Gonzalo King, Marwan Muhammad Ahmed Abdellah, Pramod Shivaji Kumbhar, Giuseppe Chindemi, András Ecker, Sirio Bolaños Puchet, James Bryden Isbister, Daniela Egas Santander

Synaptic plasticity underlies the brain’s ability to learn and adapt. While experiments in brain slices have revealed mechanisms and protocols for the induction of plasticity between pairs of neurons, how these synaptic changes are coordinated in biologica ...
