It's moke like 1000 Hz, but that is seldom reached in cortex, where 10-100 Hz
is the norm, with quicker bursts.

That has been for about ten years, and still is, a very contentious point
in the field. Read the September special issue of Neuron on the subject.
Compare affiliations of authors to see which side I am on.
