Presence and absence of loose synchronization in Purkinje neurons

Caption

When a group of Purkinje neurons fire rapidly, loose synchronization occurs. This can be seen by the spikes occurring in groups at regular intervals (highlighted in yellow). When Purkinje neurons fire slowly, this synchronization does not occur.
