Figure 3. Theoretical predictions of weight distribution shaped by STDP.

Figure 3

A: Resulting weight distribution for log-STDP (blue solid curve) with the saturation for LTD corresponding to Inline graphic in (6); mlt-STDP inspired by the model of van Rossum et al. [24] (pink solid curve) in (27); and add-STDP [1], [14] (gray dashed-dotted curve) in (26). Log-STDP and mlt-STDP are parameterized to obtain roughly the same equilibrium value for the mean weight (arrows); without noise and very slow learning, the resulting narrow distribution would be centered around the fixed point Inline graphic. The curves are evaluated using (1) and (5) with the same learning rate Inline graphic and noise level corresponding to Inline graphic in (3). B: Similar to A with log-scaled axes. C: Effect of the parameters in log-STDP. Comparison between the predicted weight distributions with the baseline parameters Inline graphic, Inline graphic and Inline graphic in (6) (medium blue curve in B) and two variants with the parameter change indicated in each plot (darker curves correspond to larger values).
