Theoretical Analysis of Learning with RewardModulated Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity
Experiment by Fetz & Baker: A monkey was rewarded whenever a specific neuron was active.

How does the monkey learn for which of its billions of neurons the reward is provided?

Consolidation of synaptic changes requires a third signal such as dopamine. We provide a learning theory for this situation which also explains the Fetz & Baker experiment. Institute for Theoretical Computer Science
