A simple model for Behavioral Time Scale Synaptic Plasticity (BTSP) provides content addressable memory with binary synapses and one-shot learning

Y. Wu and W. Maass

Recent experiments reveal a one-shot learning rule—Behavioral Time scale Synaptic Plasticity—that instantaneously forms memory traces in hippocampal area CA1. We present a transparent model and theory showing how it creates content-addressable memory, reproduces memory-trace repulsion, and suggests energy-efficient implementation in memristor crossbar arrays.
