Abstract
We investigate the contribution of single cells to collective gamma-oscilla tions in a network of spiking neurons subject to an inhibitory activity con trol. In contrast to many earlier studies emphasizing a high precision in s pike timing, cell firing is rather unreliable in our model. Nonetheless, we qualitatively reproduce many experimental findings, some of them previousl y unexplored in modeling studies. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
