Short-term facilitation has been demonstrated to serve as both working memory and mapping input for readout, short-term depression for removing auto-correlation. Long-term potentiation is used for spatial memory storage while long-term depression for both encoding space features, selective weakening of synapses and clearing old memory traces respectively. Forward [[spike-timing-dependent plasticity]] is used for long range temporal correlation, temporal coding and spatiotemporal coding. The reversed [[spike-timing-dependent plasticity]] acts as sensory filtering.
