Hebbian Learning

Reexamining Hebbian Learning: "One of the fundamental ways that neurons compute is thought to be a form of learning called Hebbian learning, in which cells that "fire together, wire together." Other learning mechanisms, such as back-propagation, have proven useful in neural network simulations, but are often considered less biologically-plausible (although the evidence for some form of error-driven learning is accumulating)."
