Characterization of Neural Interaction During Learning and Adaptation from Spike-Train Data by Liqiang Zhu, Ying-Cheng Lai, Frank C. Hoppensteadt, Jiping He

“…The procedure was applied to spiketrains from neurons in the primary motor cortex of the monkeybrain during adaptation, where monkeys were trained to learn a newskill by moving their arms to reach a target under externalperturbations. Our computation and analysis indicated that theadaptation tends to alter the connection topology of theunderlying neural network, yet the average interaction strength inthe network is approximately conserved before and after theadaptation. …”
