Figure 3. Kernel function Inline graphic.

Figure 3

(A) Anticonvolution of a fictive correlogram Inline graphic (red curve) and a typical kernel function Inline graphic (blue curve). The amount of LTP/LTD corresponds to the area under the curve of the product of the two functions. (B) Plot of a typical kernel Inline graphic as a function of Inline graphic (blue curve). It corresponds to (4) for log-STDP with the baseline parameters in Table 1, namely rise and decay time constants Inline graphic and Inline graphic in (29), respectively, and a purely axonal delay Inline graphic. The related STDP learning window Inline graphic is plotted in black dashed line and the mirrored PSP response in pink solid line. The effect of the axonal delay shifts both the Inline graphic and the PSP in the same direction, which cancels out. (C) Variants of Inline graphic for longer PSP time constants, Inline graphic and Inline graphic (purple curve); and for a dendritic delay Inline graphic (green dashed-dotted curve). In contrast to Inline graphic that does not play a role in (4), Inline graphic shifts Inline graphic to the right. The arrows indicate Inline graphic.
