Simultaneous activation of gamma and theta network oscillations in rat hippocampal slice cultures.
Hippocampal activity in vivo is characterized by concurrent oscillations at theta (4-15 Hz) and gamma (20-80 Hz) frequencies. Here we show that cholinergic receptor activation (methacholine 10-20 nm) in hippocampal slice cultures induces an oscillatory mode of activity, in which the intrinsic network oscillator (located in the CA3 area) expresses simultaneous theta and gamma network oscillation...
متن کاملDifferential involvement of oriens/pyramidale interneurones in hippocampal network oscillations in vitro.
Using whole-cell patch-clamp recordings in conjunction with post hoc anatomy we investigated the physiological properties of hippocampal stratum oriens and stratum pyramidale inhibitory interneurones, before and following the induction of pharmacologically evoked gamma frequency network oscillations. Prior to kainate-induced transient epochs of gamma activity, two distinct classes of oriens int...
متن کاملFunctional role of gamma and theta oscillations in episodic memory.
The primary aim of this review is to examine evidence for a functional role of gamma and theta oscillations in human episodic memory. It is proposed here that gamma and theta oscillations allow for the transient interaction between cortical structures and the hippocampus for the encoding and retrieval of episodic memories as described by the hippocampal memory indexing theory (Teyler and DiScen...
متن کاملHippocampal gamma oscillations increase with working memory load
Functional imaging has implicated a diverse network of brain regions supporting working memory—the capacity to maintain multiple item representations over brief intervals. However, considerable controversy surrounds the role of the hippocampus in working memory. To simultaneously examine both hippocampal and neocortical contributions to working memory, we recorded electroencephalographic activi...
متن کاملEntrainment of Neocortical Neurons and Gamma Oscillations by the Hippocampal Theta Rhythm
Although it has been tacitly assumed that the hippocampus exerts an influence on neocortical networks, the mechanisms of this process are not well understood. We examined whether and how hippocampal theta oscillations affect neocortical assembly patterns by recording populations of single cells and transient gamma oscillations in multiple cortical regions, including the somatosensory area and p...
