Synaptic depression and slow oscillatory activity in a biophysical network model of the cerebral cortex

Synaptic depression and slow oscillatory activity in a biophysical network model of the cerebral cortex

Short-term synaptic depression (STD) is a form of synaptic plasticity that has a large impact on network computations. Experimental results suggest that STD is modulated by cortical activity, decreasing with activity in the network andincreasing during silent states. Here we explored different activ...
