Independently tunable subcortical oscillators enable prefrontal control of cortical coupling

Marjan Mozaffarilegha, Angeliki Kolaxi, Vassiliki Nikoletopoulou, Hiroshi Ito

The paper shows that the supramammillary nucleus (SuM) acts as an independently tunable theta oscillator, modulated by the prefrontal cortex to control cortical coupling with the hippocampus.

Locomotion-invariant prefrontal-thalamic goal states organize spatially aligned episode-specific hippocampal maps

Zahra Golipour, Marjan Mozaffarilegha, Shao-Fan Yen…·Hiroshi Ito

The paper shows that prefrontal-thalamic pathways encode goal states in a way that allows hippocampal maps to remain spatially aligned across different navigation episodes.

The orbitofrontal cortex forms a context-generalized spatial schema that preserves topology and distance

Raunak Basu, Marjan Mozaffarilegha, Ipek Bölükbaşı…·Hiroshi Ito

This study identifies a stable spatial map in the orbitofrontal cortex that preserves topological relationships and distances across different environments, unlike hippocampal and entorhinal maps.
