Activity-dependent metaplasticity in accordance with the BCM theory. The experimental data (Wang and Wagner, 1999) in the control conditions (filled squares) reveal slight LTD at low conditioning frequency (<5 Hz) and strong LTP above. After priming the postsynaptic cell with a 100 Hz stimulus (empty squares) the LTD window becomes larger (up to 30 Hz) and stronger (amplitude doubles). In the model the control case (filled circles) corresponds to an average postsynaptic activity history of 10 Hz, while in the priming case (empty circles) the neuron was stimulated with 100 Hz for 3 s before the conditioning. Upon priming the model displays the same leftward shift of LTD/LTP crossover point and an increase in LTD amplitude.
