A neural model for the formation of visual engrams is proposed, operating according to a non-Hebbian principle — specifically, through the enhancement of inhibitory synapses, up to and including the formation of veto synapses. The model relies on two hypothetical mechanisms: (1) rapid, repetitive reactivation ("ripple-reverberation") and (2) high-frequency synchronization enabling the activation of inhibitory synapses, which consequently become veto synapses. Through such learning, "neural locks" for familiar patterns are formed in memory. This model constitutes a component of a more general top-down model of visual recognition described previously (Levashov & Safiulina, 2025). The problem of processing activity patterns in living neural networks is discussed, as these patterns are not holistic but rather manifest as a mosaic of activated and non-activated neurons.
