Presynaptic stochasticity improves energy efficiency and helps alleviate the stability-plasticity dilemma

When an action potential arrives at a synapse there is a large probability that no neurotransmitter is released. Surprisingly, simple computational models suggest that these synaptic failures enable information processing at lower metabolic costs. However, these models only consider information tran...
