Highlights
Coincident parallel fibre (PF) and climbing fibre (CF) input to cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs) induces long-term depression (LTD) of PF synapses
We have previously studied the effect of non-specific synaptic plasticity (NSSP) on pattern recognition in an artificial neural network
In the absence of noise in the input patterns, introducing NSSP resulted in a decreased pattern recognition performance, similar to the loss of performance reported for unsupervised learning based on Oja’s rule [4]
Summary
Coincident parallel fibre (PF) and climbing fibre (CF) input to cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs) induces long-term depression (LTD) of PF synapses. We have previously studied the effect of non-specific synaptic plasticity (NSSP) on pattern recognition in an artificial neural network. In the absence of noise in the input patterns, introducing NSSP resulted in a decreased pattern recognition performance, similar to the loss of performance reported for unsupervised learning based on Oja’s rule [4].
