A long-term ketogenic diet in young and aged rats has dissociable effects on prelimbic cortex and CA3 ensemble activity

This study examines the effects of a ketogenic diet on neural activity in the prelimbic cortex and CA3 of young and aged rats, finding increased activation in the PL but no change in CA3.

Unilateral Perforant Path Transection Does Not Alter Lateral Entorhinal Cortical or Hippocampal CA3 Arc Expression

This study examines if perforant path fiber loss affects Arc expression in CA3 and LEC, finding no change in Arc expression despite impaired task performance.

Dopamine transporter is a master regulator of dopaminergic neural network connectivity

The paper shows that dopamine transporter regulates network connectivity differences between substantia nigra and ventral tegmental area dopaminergic neurons.

Spectrum Degradation of Hippocampal LFP during Euthanasia

The paper examines how the power spectrum of hippocampal LFP degrades during euthanasia, finding that the 1/f slope is maintained until energy is fully quenched, supporting an energy cascade theory.

Rodent mnemonic similarity task performance requires the prefrontal cortex

This study shows that prefrontal cortex inactivation impairs mnemonic discrimination in a similarity task regardless of lure novelty, unlike hippocampal inactivation.

THERMODYNAMIC MODEL OF MESOSCALE NEURAL FIELD DYNAMICS: DERIVATION AND LINEAR ANALYSIS

The paper develops a thermodynamic model of mesoscale neural field dynamics, showing it supports oscillatory behavior and provides insights into mesoscopic collective activity through linear analysis.

High-order theta harmonics account for the detection of slow gamma

The paper investigates the relationship between slow gamma and theta harmonics in hippocampal LFPs, finding that slow gamma is not a distinct oscillation but an artifact of decomposition methods.

Experience-dependent effects of muscimol-induced hippocampal excitation on mnemonic discrimination

This study investigates how muscimol-induced hippocampal excitation affects mnemonic discrimination in rats, finding that it impairs performance on novel stimuli but not familiar ones.

Mesoscale turbulence in the hippocampus

The paper applies wave turbulence theory to analyze hippocampal LFP data, showing turbulent properties like energy cascade and power-law spectra in rat neural activity.

Theta-Gamma Cascades and Running Speed

The paper examines how theta and gamma oscillations in hippocampal LFPs correlate with running speed, finding increased amplitude-amplitude and phase-amplitude coupling at higher velocities.

TURBULENCE IN THE HIPPOCAMPUS: AN ANSATZ FOR THE ENERGY CASCADEHYPOTHESIS

The paper proposes weak turbulence as a theoretical framework to describe mesoscopic neural activity in the hippocampus, showing that collective dynamics exhibit stochastic, weakly nonlinear, and weakly dissipative properties.

Theta-gamma coupling: a nonlinear dynamical model

The paper proposes a nonlinear dynamical model based on the three-wave equation to analyze cross-frequency coupling in hippocampal LFPs, showing unambiguous theta-gamma coupling.

The Anti-Epileptic Ketogenic Diet Alters Hippocampal Transporter Levels and Reduces Adiposity in Aged Rats

This study shows that a ketogenic diet reduces adiposity and reverses age-related declines in hippocampal transporter expression in aged rats.
