The role of the fast weights, δwi, is to transiently adjust neuronal output to suppress immediate errors – errors that can be predicted if y * changes slowly. The role of the slow weights, wi, is to ...

In a study supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers revealed the structural underpinnings of memory formation across a broad network of neurons in the mouse brain.

Using cutting-edge genetic tools, 3D electron microscopy, and artificial intelligence, Scripps Research scientists and colleagues have uncovered key structural hallmarks of long-term memory, called an ...
