Hebb’s Law: “Neurons that fire together wire together.”

Hebb’s rule, as it has come to be known, is the cornerstone of connectionism. Indeed, the field derives its name from the belief that knowledge is stored in the connections between neurons. Donald Hebb, a Canadian psychologist, stated it this way in his 1949 book The Organization of Behavior: “When an axon of cell A is near enough cell B and repeat

Aujourd’hui, les scientifiques résument la dynamique essentielle de la plasticité neuronale par un dicton connu sous le nom de loi de Hebb : « Les cellules qui s’activent ensemble se câblent ensemble. »

Hebbian learning, is succinctly described by the phrase ‘neurons that fire together wire together’.

Hebbian learning, is succinctly described by the phrase ‘neurons that fire together wire together’.

A set of neurons which codes for an event or concept that we wish to memorize is activated in our brain. How is this memory saved? In the beginning is the synapse, the microscopic point of contact between two neurons. Its strength is increased when the neurons it links are jointly activated in short succession—this is Hebb’s famous rule: neurons th
