The strength of synapses is necessary for a number of different learning mechanisms in computational neuroscience, neural networks, biophysics etc.
Explanation:
- In the neuroscience, the synaptic plasticity is the ability of synapses to strengthen or weaken over time.
- The number of ion channels on the post-synaptic membrane affects the strength of the synapse.
- The strength of synapses is necessary for a number of different learning mechanisms in computational neuroscience, neural networks, biophysics etc.
