### Exponential Synapse
64+
65+
This (chemical) synapse performs a linear transform of its input signals. Note that this synapse is "dynamic" in the sense that its efficacies are a function of their pre-synaptic inputs; there is no inherent form of long-term plasticity in this base implementation. Synaptic strength values can be viewed as being filtered/smoothened through an expoential kernel.

### Short-Term Plasticity (Dense) Synapse
6478

6579
This synapse performs a linear transform of its input signals. Note that this synapse is "dynamic" in the sense that it engages in short-term plasticity (STP), meaning that its efficacy values change as a function of its inputs/time (and simulated consumed resources), but it does not provide any long-term form of plasticity/adjustment.
