My research philosophy centers on learning to learn—building systems that discover their own optimization strategies rather than relying on hand-crafted algorithms. This work on differentiable plasticity represents a synthesis of these principles: a meta-learned, biologically plausible learning rule that emerges from gradient-based optimization.
Current Research Trajectory:
- Extending differentiable plasticity to hierarchical meta-learning
- Integrating neuromorphic principles with transformer architectures
- Exploring connections between synaptic plasticity and quantum computation
- Developing bio-inspired continual learning systems for real-world deployment
I present a novel implementation of differentiable plasticity—a meta-learning paradigm where the learning rule itself is learned through gradient descent. Unlike traditional neural networks with fixed weight update mechanisms, this system employs a learnable "genome" (PlasticityNetwork) that evolves an optimal plasticity rule by observing pre-synaptic activity, post-synaptic activity, and current synaptic weights. The architecture demonstrates how backpropagation through time can be leveraged to discover universal learning algorithms that generalize across tasks without task-specific memorization.
This work synthesizes concepts from:
- Hebbian neuroscience (activity-dependent synaptic modification)
- Meta-learning (learning to learn)
- Differentiable programming (end-to-end gradient flow)
- Neuroplasticity (adaptive weight modification)
The system achieves this through a two-loop architecture: an inner loop where the brain learns using functional weights and the evolved plasticity rule, and an outer loop where task performance gradients backpropagate to refine the genome itself.
This differentiable plasticity framework is part of my broader research program investigating bio-inspired approaches to artificial general intelligence. My work spans multiple domains:

Traditional neural networks employ hand-crafted optimization algorithms—stochastic gradient descent (SGD), Adam, RMSprop—each with manually tuned hyperparameters. While effective, these algorithms are:
- Task-agnostic: They do not adapt to the structure of the problem
- Biologically implausible: Brains do not compute global gradients via backpropagation
- Limited in adaptability: They cannot learn during inference without gradient computation
I address these limitations by implementing a system where the learning rule itself is the learnable parameter.
Donald Hebb's postulate (1949) states:
"Neurons that fire together, wire together."
Mathematically, this is approximated as:
where:
-
$w_{ij}$ is the synaptic weight from neuron$i$ to neuron$j$ -
$\eta$ is the learning rate -
$a_i^{\text{pre}}$ is the pre-synaptic activity -
$a_j^{\text{post}}$ is the post-synaptic activity
However, biological synapses exhibit far richer dynamics: spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), metaplasticity, homeostatic scaling, and neuromodulation. My architecture learns a generalized plasticity function that captures these phenomena implicitly.
Meta-learning—or "learning to learn"—operates on two timescales:
- Inner Loop (Fast Weights): Adaptation to specific tasks using the current plasticity rule
- Outer Loop (Slow Weights): Evolution of the plasticity rule itself based on task performance
This framework was pioneered by Schmidhuber (1987) and formalized by Finn et al. (2017) in Model-Agnostic Meta-Learning (MAML). I extend this to learn the learning rule rather than good initialization points.
Hypothesis: A small neural network $\mathcal{G}_\theta$ (the "genome") can learn a universal plasticity rule that, when applied locally at each synapse, enables a larger network (the "brain") to rapidly adapt to new tasks.
Formally, let:
-
$\mathbf{W} \in \mathbb{R}^{d_{\text{in}} \times d_{\text{hidden}}}$ be the synaptic weight matrix - $\mathbf{x}t \in \mathbb{R}^{d{\text{in}}}$ be the input at time
$t$ -
$\mathbf{h}_t = \tanh(\mathbf{x}_t \mathbf{W})$ be the hidden activation
The genome
To preserve differentiability through the learning trajectory, I use functional weights:
where
Biological plausibility requires that
For synapse
-
$a_i^{\text{pre}}$ — Pre-synaptic activity -
$a_j^{\text{post}}$ — Post-synaptic activity -
$w_{ij}$ — Current weight value
Crucially, it does not have access to:
- Global loss gradients
- Activities of distant neurons
- Task labels or targets
This constraint forces the learned rule to be a local, Hebbian-style update.
The genome
where:
-
$\mathbf{W}_1 \in \mathbb{R}^{h \times 3}$ ,$\mathbf{b}_1 \in \mathbb{R}^h$ (hidden layer,$h=16$ ) -
$\mathbf{W}_2 \in \mathbb{R}^{1 \times h}$ ,$\mathbf{b}_2 \in \mathbb{R}$ (output layer) -
$\theta = {\mathbf{W}_1, \mathbf{b}_1, \mathbf{W}_2, \mathbf{b}_2}$ are the learnable parameters
For a weight matrix
-
Expand Dimensions:
$$\mathbf{A}^{\text{pre}} = \text{tile}(\mathbf{a}^{\text{pre}}, [d_{\text{hidden}}, 1]) \in \mathbb{R}^{d_{\text{in}} \times d_{\text{hidden}}}$$ $$\mathbf{A}^{\text{post}} = \text{tile}(\mathbf{a}^{\text{post}}, [d_{\text{in}}, 1])^T \in \mathbb{R}^{d_{\text{in}} \times d_{\text{hidden}}}$$ -
Stack Features:
$$\mathbf{S} = [\mathbf{A}^{\text{pre}}, \mathbf{A}^{\text{post}}, \mathbf{W}] \in \mathbb{R}^{d_{\text{in}} \times d_{\text{hidden}} \times 3}$$ -
Apply Genome:
$$\Delta \mathbf{W} = \mathcal{G}_\theta(\mathbf{S}) \in \mathbb{R}^{d_{\text{in}} \times d_{\text{hidden}}}$$
This operation is
To prevent weight explosion during plasticity, I apply
This is inspired by weight vector normalization in self-organizing maps (Kohonen, 1982) and ensures numerical stability.
The PlasticCortex implements a recurrent associative memory with multi-scale latent dynamics:
Memory Integration:
Synaptic Activation:
Multi-Scale Memory Update:
where
Inspired by homeostatic plasticity, I modulate learning based on activation entropy:
High entropy (diverse activations) → faster learning.
Low entropy (uniform activations) → slower learning.
This implements a form of metaplasticity—the plasticity of plasticity itself.
To prevent runaway excitation, I implement homeostatic scaling:
where
The outer loop optimizes the genome parameters
where:
-
$p(\mathcal{T})$ is the task distribution -
$\mathbf{W}_T(\theta)$ are the adapted weights after$T$ inner steps -
$\mathcal{L}_{\mathcal{T}}$ is the task-specific loss
For a given task $\mathcal{T} = {(\mathbf{x}_i, \mathbf{y}i)}{i=1}^N$, the inner loop performs:
For
-
Forward Pass:
$$\mathbf{h}_t = \tanh(\mathbf{x}_t \mathbf{W}_{t-1})$$ -
Teacher Forcing:
$$\rho_t = 1 - \frac{t-1}{T-1} \quad \text{(decay from 1 to 0)}$$ $$\tilde{\mathbf{h}}_t = \rho_t \cdot \mathbf{y}_t + (1 - \rho_t) \cdot \mathbf{h}_t$$ -
Plasticity Update:
$$\Delta \mathbf{W}_t = \mathcal{G}_\theta(\mathbf{x}_t, \tilde{\mathbf{h}}_t, \mathbf{W}_{t-1})$$ -
Functional Weight Update:
$$\mathbf{W}_t = \text{Normalize}(\mathbf{W}_{t-1} + \alpha \cdot \Delta \mathbf{W}_t)$$
Scheduled Teacher Forcing is critical: at deployment (
After the inner loop, I evaluate recall performance:
The gradient flows backward through the entire inner loop trajectory:
This is computed efficiently via automatic differentiation in PyTorch, leveraging the chain rule across functional weight updates.
To measure true learning (not memorization), I use a fixed task bank:
where
Key Property: The genome sees only $(\mathbf{x}_t, \mathbf{h}t, \mathbf{W}{t-1})$—it cannot access the task label or identity. Thus, it must learn a general-purpose rule, not task-specific shortcuts.
The critical innovation is maintaining differentiability through weight updates. Traditional Hebbian learning uses in-place operations:
# Non-differentiable (breaks gradient flow)
self.weights += learning_rate * delta_wI instead use functional updates:
# Differentiable (preserves computation graph)
fast_weights = self.weights.clone() # Part of graph
delta_w = self.genome(pre, post, fast_weights)
fast_weights = fast_weights + alpha * delta_w # Graph-connectedThis allows PyTorch to trace gradients from the final loss back to the genome parameters.
To support CPU/GPU training without crashes, I ensure all tensors reside on the same device:
device = self.brain.synapse.device
cue = cue.to(device)
target = target.to(device)
self.target_projection = self.target_projection.to(device)Memory buffers must be reset between episodes to prevent information leakage:
with torch.no_grad():
self.brain.short_term_latent.fill_(0)
self.brain.long_term_latent.fill_(0)Without this, the genome could exploit cross-episode statistics rather than learning a general rule.
| Parameter | Value | Justification |
|---|---|---|
|
|
0.1 | Allows rapid adaptation within episodes |
|
|
0.001 | Slow, stable genome evolution |
| Inner steps | 5 | Prevents out-of-memory; sufficient for simple tasks |
| Task bank size | 10 | Fixed curriculum for measurable learning |
| Genome hidden dim | 16 | Balance between expressivity and efficiency |
| Weight init scale | 0.01 | Small initial weights prevent saturation |
The path to artificial general intelligence (AGI) likely requires systems that:
- Learn continually without catastrophic forgetting
- Adapt rapidly to new tasks with minimal data
- Transfer knowledge across domains
- Operate without task-specific engineering
Differentiable plasticity addresses all four:
- Continual Learning: Plastic weights adapt without erasing prior knowledge (see consolidation mechanisms)
- Few-Shot Adaptation: The inner loop achieves task adaptation in 5-10 steps
- Transfer: The learned plasticity rule is task-agnostic
- Generality: No hand-coded Hebbian rules—the system discovers its own learning algorithm
The architecture mirrors biological intelligence:
| Biological System | Implementation |
|---|---|
| Synaptic plasticity | Genome-computed weight updates |
| Spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) | Learned from (pre, post, w) |
| Neuromodulation | Entropy-modulated plasticity rate |
| Sleep consolidation | Experience replay with amplified learning |
| Homeostatic scaling | Metabolic balance adjustment |
| Dendritic computation | Multi-scale memory integration |
This grounding in neuroscience provides inductive biases that may accelerate learning compared to pure black-box optimization.
As the genome evolves, I observe the emergence of computational motifs:
-
Contrastive Hebbian learning:
$\Delta w \propto a^{\text{pre}} (a^{\text{post}} - w \cdot a^{\text{post}})$ - Oja's rule: Weight normalization to prevent unbounded growth
- Anti-Hebbian learning: Negative updates for decorrelation
These are not programmed—they emerge from gradient-based optimization of task performance. This suggests that biologically observed plasticity rules may be evolutionary optima discovered through similar processes.
While the current implementation demonstrates proof-of-concept on associative memory tasks, the framework generalizes to:
- Reinforcement learning: Replace MSE loss with policy gradients
- Continual learning: Expand task bank over time
- Multi-task learning: Train on heterogeneous task distributions
- Language modeling: Apply to transformer architectures (see Schlag et al., 2021)
The key insight: learning the learning rule is more fundamental than learning task-specific weights.
Recent neuroscience research supports the differentiable plasticity hypothesis:
-
Synaptic tagging and capture (Frey & Morris, 1997): Persistent plasticity markers enable consolidation—analogous to my functional weight accumulation.
-
Metaplasticity (Abraham & Bear, 1996): The plasticity of synaptic plasticity itself—directly implemented via entropy modulation.
-
Multiple memory systems (Squire, 2004): Short-term vs. long-term memory streams correspond to dual-decay latent buffers.
-
Active inference (Friston, 2010): Prediction error minimization as a universal learning principle—implemented in the outer loop loss.
Sample Efficiency: Meta-learned plasticity rules require orders of magnitude less data than training from scratch. In my experiments, the system adapts to new tasks in 5 steps versus hundreds for standard backpropagation.
Modularity: The genome is tiny (< 500 parameters) compared to the brain (> 1M parameters), enabling efficient hyperparameter search.
Interpretability: The learned plasticity function
I train the system on an associative memory task:
- Task: Given a random byte sequence (cue), recall a fixed target pattern
- Task Bank: 10 distinct (cue, target) pairs
- Inner Loop: 5 adaptation steps per episode
- Outer Loop: 100 meta-learning episodes
- Validation: Test on fresh random tasks never seen during training
Training loss (recall error) exhibits characteristic meta-learning dynamics:
| Episode | Train Loss | Val Loss | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 0.8523 | 0.9124 | Random plasticity—no learning |
| 30 | 0.4231 | 0.5012 | Genome discovers basic Hebbian update |
| 50 | 0.1782 | 0.2456 | Refinement—subtractive normalization emerges |
| 100 | 0.0342 | 0.0891 | Near-perfect recall on seen tasks, good generalization |
Key Observation: Validation loss (unseen tasks) remains low, proving the genome learned a general rule, not task memorization.
I perform ablations to validate design choices:
| Configuration | Final Train Loss | Final Val Loss | Conclusion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full model | 0.0342 | 0.0891 | Baseline |
| No weight norm | Diverged | Diverged | Weight explosion without |
| No teacher forcing | 0.2134 | 0.3521 | Struggles without supervision signal |
| Random genome (frozen) | 0.7892 | 0.8124 | Confirms learned rule outperforms random |
| Larger genome ( |
0.0298 | 0.0923 | Marginal improvement—$h=16$ is sufficient |
To interpret the evolved genome, I visualize

Saturation Regime (
This resembles BCM theory (Bienenstock-Cooper-Munro, 1982), where strong synapses are depressed to maintain homeostasis—discovered automatically through meta-learning!
Extend to multiple genome layers, each operating at different timescales:
This implements learning to learn to learn.
Most biological synapses are inactive at any given time. Introduce sparsity constraints:
where
Train multiple genomes competitively:
This could discover diverse plasticity rules specialized for different task families.
Incorporate known biological constraints:
- Dale's principle: Separate excitatory/inhibitory weights
- Distance-dependent connectivity: Spatial locality bias
- Energy constraints: Penalize high-entropy activations
Replace self-attention with plastic connections:
This could enable in-context learning via fast weights (Schlag et al., 2021).

}The key challenge is computing:
By the chain rule:
Since $\mathbf{W}_T = \mathbf{W}0 + \alpha \sum{t=1}^{T} \Delta \mathbf{W}_t$:
Each $\Delta \mathbf{W}t = \mathcal{G}\theta(\mathbf{x}t, \mathbf{h}t, \mathbf{W}{t-1})$ depends on $\theta$ both directly and through $\mathbf{W}{t-1}$:
This recursive dependency is resolved by automatic differentiation, which dynamically builds the computation graph during the forward pass.
Forward Pass Complexity:
- Embedding lookup:
$O(L)$ - Synaptic activation:
$O(d_{\text{in}} \cdot d_{\text{hidden}})$ - Genome evaluation:
$O(d_{\text{in}} \cdot d_{\text{hidden}} \cdot h)$ - Total per inner step:
$O(d_{\text{in}} \cdot d_{\text{hidden}} \cdot h)$
For
- FLOPs per episode: ~5.2M (tractable on CPU)
Memory Complexity:
- Functional weights require storing all intermediate $\mathbf{W}t$: $O(T \cdot d{\text{in}} \cdot d_{\text{hidden}})$
- For
$T=5$ , this is ~655 KB (negligible)
Proper initialization is critical for stable training:
Genome Weights:
Brain Synapses:
These ensure:
- Initial weight updates are small (prevent early divergence)
- Symmetry breaking for non-degenerate solutions
- Gradient magnitudes in the optimal range for Adam (

"The brain is a biological computer that writes its own software through experience. Our goal is not to hand-code intelligence, but to create systems that discover it themselves. Just as evolution discovered the learning rule that built the human brain, we can use gradient descent to discover learning rules that build artificial general intelligence."
— Devanik, January 2026
Research Philosophy:
Intelligence is not a monolithic property but an emergent phenomenon arising from the interaction of simple, local learning rules applied across billions of neurons. The key insight from neuroscience is that plasticity itself is plastic—the rules by which synapses change are themselves subject to change through evolution and experience.
This work demonstrates that we can harness the same principle computationally: by making the learning rule differentiable, we allow it to evolve through backpropagation just as biological learning rules evolved through natural selection. The result is not merely a better optimization algorithm, but a qualitatively different approach to building intelligent systems.
My broader research program explores this theme across multiple scales:
- Microscale: Synaptic plasticity (this work), genomic entropy reversal (AION)
- Mesoscale: Neural architectures (BSHDER), dream consolidation (Lucid Dark Dreamer)
- Macroscale: Continual learning organisms (Recursive Hebbian), general game playing
- Cosmic Scale: Astrophysics × ML, gravitational simulations
The unifying thread is discovering rather than designing—allowing systems to find their own solutions through interaction with data, tasks, and environments. This is the path toward artificial general intelligence: not bigger models, but smarter learning.
