  A non-Markovian random walk underlies a stochastic model of spike-timing-dependent plasticity
Elliott T.  Neural Computation 22(5): 1180-1230, 2010. Type: Article

Elliott presents a very insightful model of spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), with a rigorous and thorough mathematical proof. The STDP learning rule is different from conventional Hebbian learning that can simply be stated as...
