) and phase values explicitly defined. Theta rhythms, typically within 4-8 Hz, are prominent in the hippocampus and are associated with memory processes.Synaptic Inputs:
Ess
suggests consideration of synaptic potentials, particularly hyperpolarizing synapses (as indicated by a negative reversal potential, e.g., -75 mV). Hyperpolarizing synapses, often inhibitory, play a crucial role in shaping the activity and oscillations within neural circuits.Spike Rates:

) suggests an interest in understanding how neural circuits are tuned to specific frequencies due to synaptic influences. This can relate to how inhibitory neurons can regulate the frequency and timing of network rhythms.The code models the impact of synaptic inputs, particularly hyperpolarizing synapses, on the oscillatory activity of neural networks. The biological interpretation is centered on understanding how synapses influence neural rhythms, with a focus on frequency tuning and oscillatory power modulations. This ties into broader concepts of how neuronal circuits coordinate diverse cognitive functions through oscillatory dynamics.
