Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) It is known that spike-timing-dependent synaptic plasticity (STDP) epends on the initial strength of the synapse, and that the dependence is asymmetric for potentiation and depression. It is pointed out that this fact implies a problem: the destination of a synapse should be restricted in a small region detemined by the initial-strength dependence, and little reflect the input-output statistics. If it holds true, then the learning paradigm drawn by Hebb would be broken. In order to solve the problem, we proposed a meta-learning rule depending on reinforcement signals. We applied the meta-learning for STDP learning rule that possesses asymmetric initial-strength dependence, and demonstrated that a single model neuron can learn the selectivity reflecting input statistics. We assume that the reinforcement signals reflect rewards given to the animal, and spread over the whole brain. Here we demonstrate that a single model neuron can learn the selectivity reflecting inputs correlated with rewards given a few seconds after the inputs. The proposed reinforcement meta-learning can solve the distal reward problem as well as the problem in the initial-strength dependence.
