Primes

• Metaplasticity
  • The fast base adaptive process is Hebbian plasticity: a synapse strengthens (long-term potentiation) when postsynaptic activity exceeds a modification threshold \(\theta_M\) and weakens (long-term depression) when activity falls below it.

    This sourceThe BCM rule, with a modification threshold that slides as a function of time-averaged squared postsynaptic activity—the metaplastic governor stabilizing Hebbian plasticity against runaway potentiation.

    SupportedVerified against the work's full text

    BCM state that synaptic strength rises when postsynaptic output exceeds the modification threshold theta_M and falls when it is below, as a Hebbian rule.

    “whether synaptic strength increases or decreases depends upon the magnitude of the postsynaptic response as compared with a variable modification threshold”

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
