Metabolic energy can be used as a unifying principle to control neuronal activity. However, whether and how metabolic energy alone can determine the outcome of synaptic plasticity remains unclear. This study proposes a computational model of synaptic plasticity that is completely determined by energy. A simple quantitative relationship between synaptic plasticity and postsynaptic potential energy […]
