9 Different models of STDP STDP = t N Pairings Freq - Several biophysical models explain STDP curves as [Graupner and Brunel, 2012, PNAS] based on the postsynaptic calcium trace - Anti-Hebbian STDP curve Change in synaptic efficacy t (s) [Graupner and Brunel, 2012, PNAS]

10 Different models of STDP STDP = t N Pairings Freq Normalized EPSC (%) Number of pairings (N) < t<0ms (post-pre pairings) 0< t<+30ms (pre-post pairings) Change in synaptic efficacy t (s) [Cui et al, 2015, J. Physiol.] [Graupner and Brunel, 2012, PNAS]

11 Different models of STDP STDP = t N Pairings Freq - Influence of the number of pairings in [Graupner and Brunel, 2012, PNAS] - Monotonic variation of the STDP curve as a function of the number of pairings Change in synaptic efficacy t (s) [Graupner and Brunel, 2012, PNAS]

12 Problematic and goals of the study [Cui et al, 2016, elife] : a biophysical model explaining this dependence but a complex model How to implementthis plasticity rule with a minimal model that explainsall the experimental data and that could be implementedin a network? Develop a simple phenomenological model taking into account the different mechanisms and dependence on the number of pairings Find parameters that would reproduce[cui et al, 2015, J. Physiol.] data Test the stability of this model
