//! # BTSP: Behavioral Timescale Synaptic Plasticity
//!
//! Implements one-shot learning via dendritic plateau potentials, based on
//! Bittner et al. 2017 hippocampal place field formation.
//!
//! ## Key Features
//!
//! - **One-shot learning**: Learn associations in seconds, not iterations
//! - **Bidirectional plasticity**: Weak synapses potentiate, strong depress
//! - **Eligibility trace**: 1-3 second time window for credit assignment
//! - **Plateau gating**: Dendritic events gate plasticity
//!
//! ## Performance Targets
//!
//! - Single synapse update: <100ns
//! - Layer update (10K synapses): <100μs
//! - One-shot learning: Immediate, no iteration
//!
//! ## Example
//!
//! ```rust
//! use ruvector_nervous_system::plasticity::btsp::{BTSPLayer, BTSPAssociativeMemory};
//!
//! // Create a layer with 100 inputs
//! let mut layer = BTSPLayer::new(100, 2000.0); // 2 second time constant
//!
//! // One-shot association: pattern -> target
//! let pattern = vec![0.1; 100];
//! layer.one_shot_associate(&pattern, 1.0);
//!
//! // Immediate recall
//! let output = layer.forward(&pattern);
//! assert!((output - 1.0).abs() < 0.1);
//! ```
