Abstract
Hippocampal place cells provide prototypical examples of neurons jointly firing phase and rate-coded spike trains. We propose a biophysical mechanism accounting for the generation of place cell firing at the single neuron level. An interplay between external theta-modulated excitation impinging the dendrite and intrinsic dendritic spiking as well as between frequency-modulated dendritic spiking and somatic membrane potential oscillations was a key element of the model. Through these interactions robust phase and rate-coded firing emerged in the model place cell, reproducing salient experimentally observed properties of place cell firing.
