Abstract

In this lecture series, I describe the recent advances in studying short-term plasticity in synaptic transmission. The material is divided into 3 sections. The first section is dealing with a phenomenological model of synaptic transmission and its underlying biophysical assumptions. In the second section, the model is used to study the implications of synaptic dynamics on the information transmission between ensembles of neocortical neurons. Finally, the last section deals with the effects of short-term synaptic plasticity on dynamics of recurrent networks.
