Text S1 - Synaptic Scaling Enables Dynamically Distinct Short- and Long-Term Memory Formation

Analytical derivations and detailed analyses of cell assembly dynamics. First, we derive the nullclines of the system and the resulting bifurcation phenomenon. Then, we show that this bifurcation and the related consolidation effect are general mechanisms which hold under different conditions as, for instance, random topology or different synaptic plasticity rule. Furthermore, we provide an analytical derivation of the weight decay without external stimuli and more detailed analyses of memory consolidation and destabilization. At the end of the document is the used Matlab source code for the grid network. (PDF)
