| Comments | "The mean firing rates of neurons in intact animals, engaged in natural patterns of behavior, are known only approximately. For freely moving rats, the rates of cortical units range from 0.15 to 16 Hz. The means, for neuronal populations in different areas and studies, range from 1.5 to 4 Hz (Schoenbaum et al., 1999 Fanselow and Nicolelis, 1999)." |
