• Abstract: Neural plasticity is fundamental to memory storage and retrieval in biological systems, yet existing models often fall short in addressing noise sensitivity and unbounded synaptic weight growth. This paper investigates the Allee-based nonlinear plasticity model, emphasizing its biologically inspired weight stabilization mechanisms, enhanced noise robustness, and critical thresholds for synaptic regulation. We analyze its performance in memory retention and pattern retrieval, demonstrating increased capacity and reliability compared to classical models like Hebbian and Oja's rules. To address temporal limitations, we extend the model by integrating time-dependent dynamics, including eligibility traces and oscillatory inputs, resulting in improved retrieval accuracy and resilience in dynamic environments. This work bridges theoretical insights with practical implications, offering a robust framework for modeling neural adaptation and informing advances in artificial intelligence and neuroscience.

  Firing rate models are dynamical systems widely used in applied and theoretical neuroscience to describe local cortical dynamics in neuronal populations. We propose a general framework that ensures the emergence of re-scaled memory patterns as stable equilibria in the firing rate dynamics. We analyze the conditions under which the memories are locally and globally stable, providing insights into constructing biologically-plausible and robust systems for associative memory retrieval.
