Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the listed characteristics are necessary for sequence learning in the context of a cell assembly. Hebbian plasticity is crucial for the formation and strengthening of connections between neurons that fire together. Spike-timing dependent long-term potentiation (LTP) is a specific form of Hebbian plasticity where the timing of pre- and postsynaptic spikes determines the direction and magnitude of synaptic strength changes, which is essential for learning sequences of events. The statement about synapses becoming weakened or unchanged after a postsynaptic spike refers to the mechanism that prevents the strengthening of connections that do not contribute to the sequence, ensuring specificity in the learning process.
