The average firing rate of a neocortex neuron (white or grey matter, non-specialized neurons), is only in the order of 1 Hz (for ease of remembering, in practice it is between 0.1 and 2 Hz, the further from the brainbridge a neuron is, generally speaking the slow it fires. With exceptions. Obviously, for example, this doesn't apply to the visual cortex). https://aiimpacts.org/rate-of-neuron-firing/ https://aiimpacts.org/rate-of-neuron-firing/ The very high firing rate neurons seem to be fixed function generators that don't actually process information, and some appear to have a function similar to the positional encoding in transformers, others encode the current "chemical" state of for example hormones, but there's many we don't know the function of.
