Time Structure of Cortical Activity

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

The spatio-temporal scale of the cortical network is still a matter of debate. The rate fluctuations of single neurons were taken by many as the coding parameter (e.g. Barlow, 1972, 1994; Newsome et al., 1989; Rolls, 1991). This approach was encouraged by studies of peripheral sensory systems where a given stimulus feature is encoded by the firing rate of the nerve cells. Also in the primary sensory and motor cortex the firing rate of neurons succeeded in providing a meaningful representation of the external world (Brugge and Merzenich, 1973) or the movement parameters (Georgopoulos et al., 1986).
