Resource summary
Learning & the Hebbian Synapse
Physiological learning
Pavlov concept of classical conditioning
led to Lashley search for connections in cerebral cortex
also stimulated Hebb to propose mechanism for change at a synapse
an axon that has successfully stimulated cell B in the past becomes even more successful in the future.
A synapse that increases effectiveness because of simultaneous activity in presynaptic and postsynaptic neurones called Hebbian Synapse
In development of visual system if axon from left eye fires at same time as one from right eye
neuron in visual cortex increases response to both of them
such synapses may also be critical for many kinds of associative learning
Neuroscientists have discovered much about mechanisms of Hebbian Synapses.
