Synapse efficiency diverges due to synaptic pruning following over-growth
Full text linkIn the development of the brain, it is known that synapses are pruned
following over-growth. This pruning following over-growth seems to be a
universal phenomenon that occurs in almost all areas -- visual cortex, motor
area, association area, and so on. It has been shown numerically that the
synapse efficiency is increased by systematic deletion. We discuss the synapse
efficiency to evaluate the effect of pruning following over-growth, and
analytically show that the synapse efficiency diverges as O(log c) at the limit
where connecting rate c is extremely small. Under a fixed synapse number
criterion, the optimal connecting rate, which maximize memory performance,
exists.Comment: 15 pages, 16 figure
