Schematic of phase precession in three place cells. A rat runs left-to-right and the firing of the cells (shown as colored tick marks) is spatially localized, with the three place fields (represented by the three colors) overlapping. The local field potential theta rhythm is shown at the bottom in black. The action potentials of each cell occur earlier and earlier with respect to the theta peak on each successive cycle – this is phase precession. One consequence of this is that within a single theta cycle (blue-shaded rectangle, for example) the cells fire in the same sequence in time as their triggering is organized in space: thus converting a spatial code into a temporal one.
