Abstract How information in the nervous system is encoded by patterns of action potentials (i.e. spikes) remains an open question. Multi-neuron patterns of single spikes are a prime candidate for spike time encoding but their temporal variability requires further characterisation. Here we show how known sources of spike count variability affect stimulus-evoked spike time patterns between neurons separated over multiple layers and columns of adult rat somatosensory cortex in vivo. On subsets of trials (clusters) and after controlling for stimulus-response adaptation, spike time differences between pairs of neurons are “time-warped” (compressed/stretched) by trial-to-trial changes in shared excitability, explaining why fixed spike time patterns and noise correlations are seldom reported. We show that predicted cortical state is correlated between groups of 4 neurons, introducing the possibility of spike time pattern modulation by population-wide trial-to-trial changes in excitability (i.e. cortical state). Under the assumption of state-dependent coding, we propose an improved potential encoding capacity. |
