How imprecise is neuronal synchronization? ?
We investigate the contribution of single cells to collective gamma-oscillations in a network of spiking neurons subject to an inhibitory activity control. In contrast to many earlier studies emphasizing a high precision in spike timing, cell firing is rather unreliable in our model. Nonetheless, we qualitatively reproduce many experimental findings, some of them previously unexplored in modeling studies.
