Fig. 1: Schematics of the synaptic model and the network model.
From: Memory consolidation and improvement by synaptic tagging and capture in recurrent neural networks
a The synaptic model integrates the interplay between various mechanisms of calcium-dependent synaptic plasticity and the STC hypothesis. For more details see the main text. b Schematic of a part of the neural network that consists of excitatory (blue and dark blue circles) and inhibitory neurons (red circles), and receives external input from other brain areas (green arrows). Only synapses between excitatory neurons (blue and dark blue arrows) undergo plastic changes by the processes shown in a. A Hebbian cell assembly represents a memory and consists of a group of strongly interconnected neurons (dark blue).
