According to the neural binding hypothesis, neuron

Neuron

A neuron is an electrically excitable cell that processes and transmits information by electrical and chemical signaling. Chemical signaling occurs via synapses, specialized connections with other cells. Neurons connect to each other to form networks. Neurons are the core components of the nervous...

s within neuronal assemblies fire in synchrony to link different features of neuronal representations together. These features can include, shape, motion, color, depth, and other aspects of perception. Neural oscillations have been suggested as the mechanism of binding.
