- Rate/tendancy for Synapses to change their weight/strentgh over time. At a higher level, you can think of this like the “learning rate” from machine learning, it charecterizes how our brains/world models adapt over time.
- memory is believed to be encoded through the modification of synaptic strength, suggesting correlation with memory metrics.
Long Term Potentiation: Persistent strengthening of synapses, based on recent patterns of activity.
