Beyond Rate: Hippocampal Phase Codes for Space and Memory

Place cells and concept neurons are defined by a rise in firing rate at a particular location or for a particular person or object. Neurons without such a rise remain unlabeled, although they keep firing during the task. Such neurons could still carry information in the timing of their spikes. Hippocampal theta provides a reference for this timing. We therefore asked whether the theta phase of a…
