It would appear neurons are more precise than we think... The order of magnitude
of precision according to Mainen and Sejnowski also appears to increase in reliability
with the injection of a random noise current(?) I highly suggest reading the
articles below:
@article{mainen95,
author = "Mainen, ZF and Sejnowski, TJ",
title = "Reliability Of Spike Timing in Neocortical Neuron",
journal = "Science",
year = "1995",
volume = "8",
pages = "1503-1506",
note = "2085, 95jul09, xerox",
}
@article{sejnowski95,
author = "Sejnowski, TJ",
title = "Time for a new neural code?",
journal = "Nature",
year = "1995",
volume = "376",
pages = "21-22",
note = "2090",
}
