Abstract(in English) Among a lot of models for learning in neural networks, Hebbian and anti-Hebbian learnings might be the most familiar ones. Although there are many variants, the most typical paradigms are such that when pre-and post-synaptic activations(firing)occur at the same time, synaptic efficacy is increased(Hebbian)or decreased(anti-Hebbian). According recent neurophysiological observations, however, synaptic modification in neurons depends on the precise temporal relation between pre-synaptic and post-synaptic activities. Namely, pre-synaptic spikes that precede postsynaptic firing lead to synaptic potentiation, while those that follow postsynaptic firing elicit synaptic depression. This kind of asymmetric feature of neural plasticity seems to play a very important role in temporal behavior of animals. The purpose of this study is to address certain potential implications of the asymmetric Hebbian(anti-Hebbian)learning through a mathematical model and computer simulations. Although the neuron model and the learning rule used in this study are extremely simplified compared with those of real neurons, they can explain some salient features of temporal behavior in animals.
