"Correlated neuronal discharge rate and its implications for psychophysical performance" Nature (1994)

Inter-ictal spiking refers to abnormal neuronal discharges between epileptic seizures.

Pathophysiologically, the abdominal aura is associated with aberrant neuronal discharges in sensory cortical areas representing the abdominal viscera.

Concerning sensory awareness neural binding accomplishes synchronization in the order of milliseconds via a process described as "dynamic binding by transient and precise synchronization of neuronal discharges".

The hypothesis is that synchronization of neuronal discharges can serve for the integration of distributed neurons into cell assemblies and that this process may underlie the selection of perceptually and behaviorally relevant information.
