"...
Here we show that precisely synchronized action
potentials can propagate within a model of cortical network activity
that recapitulates many of the features of biological systems. An
attractor, yielding a stable spiking precision in the (sub)millisecond
range, governs the dynamics of synchronization. Our results indicate
that a combinatorial neural code, based on rapid associations of
groups of neurons co-ordinating their activity at the single spike
level, is possible within a cortical-like network."
