Abstract

tance information transmission in the nervous system is accomplished by the propagation of all-or-none spikes along axons, and further that this information is carried in a single axon by the timing of spikes. When a neuron is dis-charging with a constant mean frequency, in-formation is probably contained in the length of interspike intervals which, however, are notoriously variable. Much recent attention has been focused on the statistics of this vari-ability. In part, this interest has reflected a concern for the accuracy of nervous system function (interval variability, from this point of view, represents noise in the signal being transmitted (8)), but perhaps a larger body of

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
