Constrained Hebbian Learning Supports Efficient Representational Allocation under Structural Constraints
Patrick Inoue, Florian Röhrbein, Andreas Knoblauch
Introduction: Biological systems face anatomical and metabolic constraints, including costly synaptic maintenance and limited connectivity. These constraints favor neural codes that compress behaviorally relevant information into low-redundancy patterns. We test whether an excita…
