Abstract
Usually, it is assumed that the spike trains represent stochastic point processes, for which the main parameter are the (possibly variable) firing rates. However, when evaluating the relations among the firing times of several neurons, it is common to find very precise timing. Activity of 8-15 single units was recorded in parallel from the frontal cortex of monkeys performing a variety of localization and problem solving tasks. Patterns of firing in which several (3 or more) spikes appear repeatedly with the same intervals are called here spatio-temporal firing patterns. The present study refers to spatic-temporal firing patterns lasting for up to 450 ms, and in which the firing time is accurate to within ≈1 ms.
