Neurons fire at around 200 Hz on average.
The average cortical neuron firing rate is much lower than this.[0] You might have meant maximum rather than average—or am I misunderstanding?

I was indeed misremembering some statistic for which 200 Hz is correct, likely average peak rate or somesuch, not sure exactly. Thanks for catching this.
