Abstract: The reliability with which a neuron is able to create the same firing pattern when presented with the same stimulus is of critical importance to the understanding of neuronal information processing. We show that reliability is closely related to the process of phaselocking. Experimental results for the reliability of neuronal firing in the spinal cord of rat are presented and compared to results from an integrate and fire model.
