Biological neural networks continuously adapt and modify themselves in response to experiences throughout their lifetime - a capability largely absent in artificial neural networks. Hebbian plasticity offers a promising path toward rapid…

Hebbian plasticity is a powerful principle that allows biological brains to learn from their lifetime experience. By contrast, artificial neural networks trained with backpropagation generally have fixed connection weights that do not…

A fundamental aspect of learning in biological neural networks is the plasticity property which allows them to modify their configurations during their lifetime. Hebbian learning is a biologically plausible mechanism for modeling the…

How can we build agents that keep learning from experience, quickly and efficiently, after their initial training? Here we take inspiration from the main mechanism of learning in biological brains: synaptic plasticity, carefully tuned by…

This review explores biologically inspired learning as a model for intelligent robot control and sensing technology on the basis of specific examples. Hebbian synaptic learning is discussed as a functionally relevant model for machine…

Lifelong learning and adaptability are two defining aspects of biological agents. Modern reinforcement learning (RL) approaches have shown significant progress in solving complex tasks, however once training is concluded, the found…

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are typically confined to accomplishing pre-defined tasks by learning a set of static parameters. In contrast, biological neural networks (BNNs) can adapt to various new tasks by continually updating the…

It has been demonstrated that one of the most striking features of the nervous system, the so called 'plasticity' (i.e high adaptability at different structural levels) is primarily based on Hebbian learning which is a collection of…

When an object moves smoothly across a field of view, the identify of the object is unchanged, but the activation pattern of the photoreceptors on the retina changes drastically. One of the major computational roles of our visual system is…

Developmental approaches to neural architecture search grow functional networks from compact genomes through self-organisation, but the resulting networks operate with fixed post-growth weights. We characterise Hebbian and anti-Hebbian…

The plasticity property of biological neural networks allows them to perform learning and optimize their behavior by changing their configuration. Inspired by biology, plasticity can be modeled in artificial neural networks by using Hebbian…

Imagine a robot controller with the ability to adapt like human synapses, dynamically rewiring itself to overcome unforeseen challenges in real time. This paper proposes a novel zero-shot adaptation mechanism for evolutionary robotics,…

The aim of the present paper is to study the effects of Hebbian learning in random recurrent neural networks with biological connectivity, i.e. sparse connections and separate populations of excitatory and inhibitory neurons. We furthermore…

Rapidly learning from ongoing experiences and remembering past events with a flexible memory system are two core capacities of biological intelligence. While the underlying neural mechanisms are not fully understood, various evidence…

Large language models display in-context learning as an emergent effect of scale, but they rely on static weights during inference. In contrast, biological systems continually adapt via synaptic plasticity. We investigate whether explicit,…

The fundamental `plasticity' of the nervous system (i.e high adaptability at different structural levels) is primarily based on Hebbian learning mechanisms that modify the synaptic connections. The modifications rely on neural activity and…

Synaptic plasticity typically produces heavy-tailed distributions of synaptic strengths, consisting of a few strong connections among many weaker ones. Meanwhile, structural plasticity relies on distinct signaling cascades to reshape…

One of the most striking capabilities behind the learning mechanisms of the brain is the adaptation, through structural and functional plasticity, of its synapses. While synapses have the fundamental role of transmitting information across…

Generalization to out-of-distribution (OOD) circumstances after training remains a challenge for artificial agents. To improve the robustness displayed by plastic Hebbian neural networks, we evolve a set of Hebbian learning rules, where…

Artificial neural networks have successfully tackled a large variety of problems by training extremely deep networks via back-propagation. A direct application of back-propagation to spiking neural networks contains biologically implausible…
