Behavioral plasticity through the modulation of switch neurons.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
A central question in artificial intelligence is how to design agents capable of switching between different behaviors in response to environmental changes. Taking inspiration from neuroscience, we address this problem by utilizing artificial neural ...

Novel plasticity rule can explain the development of sensorimotor intelligence.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Grounding autonomous behavior in the nervous system is a fundamental challenge for neuroscience. In particular, self-organized behavioral development provides more questions than answers. Are there special functional units for curiosity, motivation, ...

Learning Spatiotemporally Encoded Pattern Transformations in Structured Spiking Neural Networks.

Neural computation
Information encoding in the nervous system is supported through the precise spike timings of neurons; however, an understanding of the underlying processes by which such representations are formed in the first place remains an open question. Here we ...

Enhancement of Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity in Spiking Neural Systems with Noise.

International journal of neural systems
Synaptic plasticity is widely recognized to support adaptable information processing in the brain. Spike-timing-dependent plasticity, one subtype of plasticity, can lead to synchronous spike propagation with temporal spiking coding information. Recen...

Spiking Neural Network With Distributed Plasticity Reproduces Cerebellar Learning in Eye Blink Conditioning Paradigms.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
GOAL: In this study, we defined a realistic cerebellar model through the use of artificial spiking neural networks, testing it in computational simulations that reproduce associative motor tasks in multiple sessions of acquisition and extinction.

Spinal plasticity in robot-mediated therapy for the lower limbs.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Robot-mediated therapy can help improve walking ability in patients following injuries to the central nervous system. However, the efficacy of this treatment varies between patients, and evidence for the mechanisms underlying functional improvements ...

Rich spectrum of neural field dynamics in the presence of short-term synaptic depression.

Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics
In continuous attractor neural networks (CANNs), spatially continuous information such as orientation, head direction, and spatial location is represented by Gaussian-like tuning curves that can be displaced continuously in the space of the preferred...

Networks that learn the precise timing of event sequences.

Journal of computational neuroscience
Neuronal circuits can learn and replay firing patterns evoked by sequences of sensory stimuli. After training, a brief cue can trigger a spatiotemporal pattern of neural activity similar to that evoked by a learned stimulus sequence. Network models s...

Robotic Therapy and the Paradox of the Diminishing Number of Degrees of Freedom.

Physical medicine and rehabilitation clinics of North America
There has been remarkable growth in the development and application of robotics to ameliorate or remediate impairment. This growth is associated with a) the understanding that plasticity is a fundamental property of the adult human brain and might be...

Neuromorphic implementations of neurobiological learning algorithms for spiking neural networks.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
The application of biologically inspired methods in design and control has a long tradition in robotics. Unlike previous approaches in this direction, the emerging field of neurorobotics not only mimics biological mechanisms at a relatively high leve...
