    However, Hebb’s basic postulate takes into account only the increase in synaptic efficacy, disregarding the possibility of a decrease in synaptic efficacy. Furthermore, this possibility has been analysed in theoretical work and found to be important to avoid saturation of the synaptic efficacy (Bienenstock, Cooper, & Munro, 1982; Sejnowski, 1977). Likewise it is critical if the potential fidelity of the “recall” in associative memory is to be maximized (Willshaw & Dayan, 1990).
