This study shows that disrupting theta-timescale spiking during locomotion impairs learning but does not affect hippocampal replay during immobility in rats.

The paper examines beta oscillations in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex during goal location processing in rats, finding inverse relationships in their dynamics across learning.

The paper evaluates phase detection algorithms for rhythmic biological signals and finds that signal amplitude and frequency variation significantly impact performance, with optimal window size corresponding to the oscillation period.

The paper develops a non-invasive DNA collection protocol for rat genotyping using rectal swabs, showing it produces reliable PCR results comparable to traditional methods.

This study shows that experience influences initial exploration strategies in spatial learning but not final task performance in rats.

The paper shows that isolated hippocampal place cell spiking during locomotion is phase-coupled to theta oscillations and predicted by prefrontal cortical activity, suggesting it reflects non-local spatial representations.

The paper generates and validates two novel Cre-expressing rat lines for studying striatal pathways.

The paper generates and validates two knock-in rat strains expressing Cre or Flp recombinase under the Parvalbumin promoter for studying inhibitory interneurons.

The paper shows that specific hippocampal place representations are reactivated with generalized prefrontal cortical task representations during memory reactivation in a foraging task.
