One hundred twenty five pairs of neurons were recorded simultaneously from precentral cortex of Macaca mulatta monkeys during an operant conditioning task. At the end of 5-min behavioral periods, a cross-correlation histogram was generated to look for relationships between the firing of the two cortical neurons. Eighty four (67%) unit pairs showed a significant coincidence of firing within 1 ms of each other. This relationship occurred regardless of whether the units' firing rate fluctuations were correlated or not. These data imply that in the majority of cases, the two units are probably more related than previously reported.
在一项操作性条件反射任务中，同时从恒河猴的中央前回皮层记录了125对神经元。在5分钟行为期结束时，生成了互相关直方图，以寻找两个皮层神经元放电之间的关系。84对（67%）神经元对在彼此1毫秒内显示出显著的放电同步。无论这些神经元的放电率波动是否相关，这种关系都会出现。这些数据表明，在大多数情况下，这两个神经元可能比之前报道的更相关。
