Abstract

Thirty years have passed since the publication of Elie Bienenstock, Leon Cooper and Paul Munro's 'Theory for the development of neuron selectivity: orientation specificity and binocular interaction in visual cortex', known as the BCM theory of synaptic plasticity. This theory has guided experimentalists to discover some fundamental properties of synaptic plasticity and has provided a mathematical structure that bridges molecular mechanisms and systems-level consequences of learning and memory storage. © 2012 Macmillan Publishers Limited.
