When precise spike timing or high-frequency firing-rate [[fluctuations]] are found to carry information, the neural code is often identified as a temporal code <ref name="Dayan">Dayan P and Abbott LF. 2001. ''Theoretical Neuroscience: Computational and Mathematical Modeling of Neural Systems''. Cambridge, Massachusetts: The MIT Press</ref>. A number of studies have found that the temporal resolution of the neural code is on a millisecond time scale, indicating that precise spike timing is a significant element in neural coding <ref name="Daniel">Daniel A.
