Responsiveness of cerebral cortex to hippocampal inputs depends on brain region and brain state

The paper investigates how gamma oscillations affect cortical responsiveness to hippocampal inputs, finding that low-amplitude gamma enhances communication in prefrontal cortex but not retrosplenial cortex.

Spatial memory performance is associated with region-specific coordination of hippocampo-cortical sleep oscillations

The paper examines how coordination of sleep oscillations during nREM sleep relates to spatial memory performance in rats, finding region-specific coupling patterns between hippocampal and cortical areas.

Global Neural Oscillations Underlie Performance Variability and Attentional State Fluctuations in Humans

The paper identifies global neural oscillations linked to attentional state fluctuations and performance variability in humans using intracranial electrocorticography.

Infraslow modulation of theta synchrony in the hippocampus circuit during REM sleep

The paper identifies infraslow modulation of theta synchrony in the hippocampal circuit during REM sleep, revealing temporally structured communication across brain regions.

Crossfrequency routing in a hippocampocortical circuit during probabilistic reversal learning

This study investigates how hippocampocortical circuits support probabilistic reversal learning by analyzing neural oscillations and spiking activity in rats.

Optogenetic stimulation of septal somatostatin neurons disrupts locomotory behavior and regulates hippocampus cholinergic theta oscillations

This study shows that optogenetic inhibition of septal somatostatin neurons disrupts goal-directed behavior and alters hippocampal theta oscillations and repetitive self-grooming.

Dentate gyrus somatostatin cells are required for contextual discrimination during episodic memory encoding

This study shows that somatostatin neurons in the dentate gyrus are essential for pattern separation during episodic memory encoding by modulating excitability and discrimination of similar environments in mice.

Cortical dynamics underlying social behavior in dominance hierarchy and spatial navigation

This study investigates how social context and dominance hierarchy influence decision-making during spatial navigation in mice, revealing the role of prefrontal cortex and hippocampus activity.

Basal forebrain gating by somatostatin neurons drives cortical activity

This study shows that somatostatin neurons in the basal forebrain regulate cortical activity and behavior by modulating synaptic output.
