Hebb’s Rule: Modification of Brain Connectivity

Hebb’s Rule: Modification of Brain Connectivity

“When an axon of cell A is near enough to excite a cell B and repeatedly or persistently takes part in firing it, some growth process or metabolic change takes place in one or both cells such that A’s efficiency, as one of the cells firing B, is increased.”

• Coocurrence of post and pre-synaptic activity should facilitate connectivity.
• Neurons:
  • Receive spikes while depolarized then enhance synapse
  • Neural Networks
