In some of these recordings, we observed a clear delay of several seconds (5.7±1.9 s; n = 5 cell pairs) between the peak of firing in different cells suggesting a propagating 'wave-like' phenomenon within the slice and hinting at the presence of a spatially distributed ISO-generating mechanism.
The result was that the peak d(Δ V t))/d t came statistically in advance of the peak firing (P < 0.0005; paired comparison; n = 20; the remaining neurons had no detectable peak of firing rates in this interval).
Peaks of firing were determined after smoothing of data (rloess, MATLAB) and fitting with a sinusoidal function.
For example, the Up Cued Arm (UCA) template enumerates the order in which the peaks of firing fields appear on the cued arm for runs towards the end of the arm.
Studies on pine (Pinus sylvestris L). (Haensch 2015) and birch (Gradel et al. 2017) from the western Khentey Mountains indicate that there could be differences between larch and birch, especially during spring at the peak of the fire season in Mongolia.
Romanenkov et al. (2014) noted that a peak of satellite fire detections occurs in cropland areas in Russia, Baltic countries, Belarus, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan directly after the snow melt in the spring (indicating field preparation) and after agricultural harvests in the fall.
It's worth remembering, though, that we haven't yet reached the traditional peak of the fire season.
Over 29,000 wildfires have scorched more than 2.6 million acres of land already this year, and the peak of the fire season hasn't hit yet, according to the report published last week.
