Altered hippocampal place cell representation and theta rhythmicity following moderate prenatal alcohol exposure

Ryan E. Harvey, Laura E. Berkowitz, Daniel D. Savage, Derek A. Hamilton, Benjamin J. Clark

This study investigates how moderate prenatal alcohol exposure affects hippocampal place cell firing and theta rhythmicity in adult rats, finding reduced spatial tuning and context sensitivity.

Progressive impairment of directional and spatially precise trajectories by TgF344-AD Rats in the Morris Water Task

Laura E. Berkowitz, Ryan E. Harvey, Emma Drake, Shannon M. Thompson, Benjamin J. Clark

This study assesses spatial navigation in TgF344-AD rats using the Morris water task, finding impaired directional and spatial precision in older rats without procedural task deficits.
