In Neuroscience , homeostatic plasticity refers to the capacity of neurons to regulate their own excitability relative to network activity, a compensatory adjustment that occurs over the timescale of days. Homeostatic plasticity is thought to balance Hebbian learning Hebbian plasticity by modulating the activity of the synapse or the properties of ion channels. Homeostatic plasticity in neocortical circuits has been studied in depth by Gina Turrigiano and Sacha Nelson Brandeis University , who first showed in their paper in the journal Nature in 1998 describing a compensatory changes in excitatory post synaptic currents mEPSCs after chronic activity manipulations, there have been reports of related phenomena circa. 1992 . The exact mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are under active investigation. The term homeostatic plasticity derives from two opposing concepts homeostatic a product of the Greek words for same and state or condition and plasticity or change , thus homeostatic plasticity means staying the same through change.

The term is typically used in artificial neural network artificial and biological neural network biological neural network research. Computation In a computational neural network, a Euclidean vector vector or set of inputs math textbf x math and outputs math textbf y math , or pre and post synaptic neurons respectively, are interconnected with synaptic weights represented by the matrix math w math , where for a linear neuron math y j sum i w ij x i textrm or textbf y w textbf x math . The synaptic weight is changed by using a learning rule, the most basic of which is Hebb s rule , which is usually stated in biological terms as blockquote Neurons that fire together, wire together. blockquote Computationally, this means that if a large signal from one of the input neurons results in a large signal from one of the output neurons, then the synaptic weight between those two neurons will increase. The rule is unstable, however, and is typically modified using such variations as Oja s rule , radial basis functions or the backpropagation algorithm. Biology For biological networks, the effect of synaptic weights is not as simple as for linear neurons or Hebbian learning . However, biophysics biophysical models such as BCM theory have seen some success in mathematically describing these networks.

Orphan date February 2009 Augmentation is one of four components of short term synapticplasticity that increases the probability of releasing synaptic vesicles during and after repetitive stimulation such that math A t rm Transmitter Release t rm Transmitter Release 0 1, math when all the other components of enhancement and depression are zero, where math A math is augmentation at time math t math and 0 refers to the baseline response to a single Stimulus 28physiology 29 stimulus . The increase in the number of synaptic vesicles that release their transmitter leads to enhancement of the post synaptic response. Augmentation can be differentiated from the other components of enhancement by its kinetics of decay and by pharmacology. Augmentation selectively decays with a time constant of about 7 seconds and its magnitude is enhanced in the presence of barium .

nofootnotes date February 2010 Synaptic noise describes the continuous and noisy bombardment of central neurons by synaptic inputs , especially in vivo . In particular, the cerebral cortex in vivo is characterized by sustained and irregular neuronal activity, which combined with the very high cortical interconnectivity, is responsible for a considerable and noisy synaptic activity in any given cortical neuron. Intracellular recordings of the membrane potential have characterized this intense activity, which sets neurons into a high conductance state because of the large number of synaptic inputs, each of which evokes a conductance increase in the membrane . Numerous computational models and theoretical studies have investigated high conductance states and synaptic noise, and found numerous consequences on neuronal processing the presence of synaptic noise may fundamentally change the integrative properties of neurons, and even may confer several computational advantages for information processing see details in the articles http www.scholarpedia.org article High conductance state High Conductance State and http www.scholarpedia.org article Neuronal noise Neuronal Noise in Scholarpedia .

Unreferenced date December 2006 A synaptic potential also known as a postsynaptic potential is an alteration in the membrane potential of a cell resulting from activation of a chemical synapse synaptic input . All animal cells maintain a voltage difference between the intracellular and extracellular regions, holding the intracellular region at a negative voltage that in a baseline state is usually in the range 30 to 70 millivolts. Synaptic inputs from neuron s can alter this voltage difference. If the intracellular voltage rises, the signal is called an excitatory postsynaptic potential EPSP if it falls the signal is called an inhibitory postsynaptic potential IPSP . If the cell is electrically excitable, a sufficiently large EPSP may cause it to generate an action potential . Category Cell biology Neuroscience stub Medicine stub ... more details
