Figure 8: CDP stabilizes LTP and shrinks the synaptic footprint of an assembly.
From: Circuit reactivation dynamically regulates synaptic plasticity in neocortex

(a) An example illustrating the progression of potentiated weights for a single synapse in assembly X3 after successive applications of the STDP (red) or CDP (blue) rule corresponding to the number of reactivations. Shading is a visual aid with darker colours having further plasticity updates. (b) The mean of the full distribution of synaptic weights for assembly X3 over successive applications of a plasticity rule STDP (red) and for CDP (blue).
