synapsebased
Synapsebased is an adjective used in neuroscience and computing to describe systems, models, or approaches that emphasize synapses as the primary sites of computation and learning, rather than treating neurons as the sole processing units. In this sense, synapse-based design focuses on synaptic connections and plasticity rules as the main drivers of information processing, memory, and adaptation.
In neuromorphic engineering and related fields, synapse-based architectures aim to implement synaptic dynamics with physical devices
Advantages of a synapse-based focus include a closer alignment with biological learning processes, potential improvements in
