the syntax of cell assembly organization and form assembly sequences of various lengths, compiled from strings of the fundamentals (i.e., from τ assemblies).8 As in language, the meaning of various strings of assemblies (or neuronal ‘trajectories; see below) depends on how the fundamentals are ordered and parsed (Pulvermüller 2003). I suggest that neural syntax facilitates the formation of ordered hierarchies of trajectories from the fundamental cell assemblies (Figure 1C).
