Synaptic Scaling Balances Learning in a Spiking Model of Neocortex
Mark Rowan, Samuel Neymotin
Learning in the brain requires complementary mechanisms: potentiation and activity-dependent homeostatic scaling. We introduce synaptic scaling to a biologically-realistic spiking…

Effects of Compensation, Connectivity and Tau in a Computational Model of Alzheimer's Disease
Mark Rowan
This work updates an existing, simplistic computational model of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) to investigate the behaviour of synaptic compensatory mechanisms in neural networks with s…
