Spatial synchronization codes from coupled rate-phase neurons
Fig 4
Example phaser cells illustrate the diversity of spatial phase codes.
For example recordings of negative (A) and positive (B) phaser cells, we show the ratemap (top), phase-vector map (middle), and conditional spike-phase distribution with rate-phase regression lines (bottom, as in Fig 1F). Maximal firing rates (top rows, color bar axes) were consistent with the moderate range of phaser cell firing rates (S2 Fig, panel A, left). Negative phaser cells demonstrated visibly stronger spatial modulation and rate-phase coupling compared to positive phaser cells, consistent with analyses of spatial uncertainty (Fig 2B), phase reliability (Fig 2C), and location-specific phase-code stability (Fig 2G).
