Stability versus Neuronal Specialization for STDP: Long-Tail Weight Distributions Solve the Dilemma

Spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) modifies the weight (or strength) of synaptic connections between neurons and is considered to be crucial for generating network structure. It has been observed in physiology that, in addition to spike timing, the weight update also depends on the current val...
