Using phase response curves to predict synchronization times for neural circuits

The existence of such an optimization may be significant both for the entorhinal cortex itself (where a background θ rhythm is believed to play a role in the phase-coding of position information by grid cells [ 3 ]) and in other parts of the brain for which cell assemblies play an essential role in information processing, in that assemblies of intrinsically θ-frequency cells would be able to form much faster than assemblies of other cells.
