When a single stimulus is strong enough to exceed a certain threshold potential, the neuron will fire. A stimulus that substantially exceeds the threshold potential does not generate a ...

Estimating Dynamic Neural Interactions in Awake Behaving Animals
... Neurons embedded in a network are correlated, and can produce synchronous spiking activities with millisecond precision. It is likely that the correlated activity organizes dynamically during behavior and cognition, and this may be independent from spike rates of individual neurons. Consequently cur ...
