We calculated the preferred firing theta phases of each cell, using all the spikes of that cell type that occurred after the first 50 ms of the simulation, relative to the filtered LFP analog. The spike times were converted to theta phases, relative to the troughs of the LFP analog theta cycle in which they fired. We then subjected the spike phases to a Rayleigh test to determine the level of theta modulation of the firing of each cell type (Varga et al., 2014).
