 Abstract: Recently, it has been shown that when the timing of spikes is measured relative to the phase of the cortical local field potentials (LFP), spikes can carry substantial more information about an external stimulus [1]. Experimental studies in sensory cortices of macaque have shown that the extra information obtained with such phase-of-firing codes above that in the firing rate alone ranges from 55 in primary visual cortex [1] to more than 100 in primary auditory cortex [2]. Here, we use a mathematical model that relates local spike trains and the resulting LFP, to explain the emergence of the phase-of-firing codes in cortex. The model is based on the one proposed in [3] and incorporates two types of integration over the spiking activity: i) a time convolution that results from the filtering properties of neural structures [4], which embeds history effects in LFP from past spiking activity, and ii) an integration step over the activity of neurons in the neighbourhood of the measuring electrode.

When the spikes recorded from macaque primary visual cortex were used to synthesize the LFP, the model could reproduce the phase-of-firing information found using the real LFP, as shown in Figure 1. This suggests that an important component of phase-of-firing information originates from the surrounding neural population and past spiking activity. The next question that arises is what is the relative contribution of the neuron population size and the length of the firing rate history embedded in the LFP. We are currently investigating this question by parametrically varying both the population size and time integration ranges in generating the synthetic LFP.
