Sensory Adaptation and Short Term Plasticity as Bayesian Correction for a Changing Brain

Neurons in the sensory system exhibit changes in excitability that unfold over many time scales. These fluctuations produce noise and could potentially lead to perceptual errors. However, to prevent such errors, postsynaptic neurons and synapses can adapt and counteract changes in the excitability o...
