Cooperative synapse formation

Cooperative synapse formation describes the mutual amplification of synapses. It is needed to explain the distribution of the number of synapses between neurons for example in a rat cortex.^[1] Spike-Timing dependence of structural plasticity is capable of explaining the emergence of cooperative synapse formation.^[2]
