Synaptic facilitation and learning of multiplexed neural signals

Although carried out as a study in computational spiking neural networks, the results may have insights for functional neuroscience, and suggest links to mechanisms that have been shown from neuroscientific studies to support temporal coding. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to solve one of the outstanding problems in spiking neural networks: to demonstrate that distinct temporal codings can be distinguished through synaptic learning.
