Synapses are important biological structures that serve to transmit information between neurons and are thought to be the sites of learning and memory.

Similarly, when learning a complex task, the received feedback seems most often global and poorly informative. It is then quite unclear how it can serve to properly adjust the strengths of numerous different synapses, the so-called "credit-assignment problem |
