Coherence resonance and stochastic synchronization in a small-world neural network: An interplay in the presence of spike-timing-dependent plasticity

Marius E. Yamakou, Estelle M. Inack

Coherence resonance (CR), stochastic synchronization (SS), and spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) are ubiquitous dynamical processes in biological neural networks. Whether th…
