Hebbs Postulum
Neurons that [see page 6, fire together wire together].
When an axon of cell A is near enough to excite cell B or repeatedly or persistently takes part in firing it, some growth process or metabolic change takes place in one or both cells such that A's efficiency, as one of the cells firing B, is increased. -- Donald Hebb, 1949
Essentially Hebbs postulum states that when a pre-synaptic neuron, \( A \), consistently takes part in firing its post-synaptic neuron, \( B \), the synaptic weight between them should increase such that \( B \) is more likely to fire when \( A \) fires.
Note: When we [see page 8, observe] a rapid-firing of the same neuron over a short-period of time we see an increase in the amplitude of EPSP.
