Hunzinger JF, Chan VH, Froemke RC. Learning complex temporal patterns with resource-dependent spike timing-dependent plasticity. J Neurophysiol 108: 551-566, 2012. First published April 11, 2012; doi:10.1152/jn.01150.2011.-Studies of spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) have revealed that long-term changes in the strength of a synapse may be modulated substantially by temporal relationships between multiple presynaptic and postsynaptic spikes. Whereas long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) of synaptic strength have been modeled as distinct or separate functional mechanisms, here, we propose a new shared resource model. A functional consequence of our model is fast, stable, and diverse unsupervised learning of temporal multispike patterns with a biologically consistent spiking neural network. Due to interdependencies between LTP and LTD, dendritic delays, and proactive homeostatic aspects of the model, neurons are equipped to learn to decode temporally coded information within spike bursts. Moreover, neurons learn spike timing with few exposures in substantial noise and jitter. Surprisingly, despite having only one parameter, the model also accurately predicts in vitro observations of STDP in more complex multispike trains, as well as rate-dependent effects. We discuss candidate commonalities in natural long-term plasticity mechanisms.
