Losing phase.
In this issue of Neuron, Remme and colleagues examine the biophysics of synchronization between oscillating dendrites and soma. Their findings suggest that oscillators will quickly phase-lock when weakly coupled. These findings are at odds with assumptions of an influential model of grid cell response generation and have implications for grid cell response mechanisms.
