Inhibitory budget matching constrains homeostatic plasticity in competitive spiking networks
Competitive spiking networks can form sensory representations through local synaptic plasticity and lateral inhibition. A canonical example is the Diehl-Cook architecture, in which Poisson-encoded sensory inputs drive excitatory neurons through spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), while a separate inhibitory population imposes competition between excitatory units. In most implementations…
