Hebbian

Definition:

Hebbian refers to a learning rule in neuroscience that describes how neurons adapt and strengthen their connections based on their activity and the temporal proximity between them.

Examples:

• Noun (Neuroscience): Hebbian theory suggests that when two neurons repeatedly take part in an activation pattern, their synaptic connection becomes stronger.
• Adjective (Neuroscience): The hebbian plasticity principle explains how connections between neurons change based on their activity.
• Adjective (Popular): Hebbian learning algorithms are commonly used in artificial neural networks to model synaptic plasticity.
• Adjective (Local): The local hebbian mechanism is believed to play a significant role in the development of visual perception in the early stages of life.
