Connectionists: Preprints: Synaptic plasticity, tagging, and maintenance

[Mark van Rossum]

Dear colleagues

We would like to make you aware of two preprints of two independent groups on 
the topic of synaptic plasticity and maintenance. 
Both papers introduce computational models of early and late LTP and synaptic 
tagging, and integrate a wide range of experimental findings into unified 
models.

State Based Biophysical Model of Long-Term Potentiation and Synaptic Tagging 
and Capture.
