Neuromodulated Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity and Theory of Three-Factor Learning Rules

Classical Hebbian learning puts the emphasis on joint pre- and postsynaptic activity, but neglects the potential role of neuromodulators. Since neuromodulators convey information about novelty or reward, the influence of neuromodulatorson synaptic plasticity is useful not just for action learning in...
