Phase relationship between hippocampal place units and the EEG theta rhythm
Abstract Many complex spike cells in the hippocampus of the freely moving rat have as their primary correlate the animal's location in an environment (place cells). In contrast,...
Hippocampal connections and spatial discrimination
Rats were tested in a new spatial discrimination procedure which measured working memory. Following preoperative testing, lesions were placed to disrupt each of the major extrin...
Induction of Visual Imagery During NREM Sleep
In an attempt to induce eye movements (EMs) in non-rapid eye movement sleep, light and sound stimuli were presented to human subjects (at below-waking threshold) during stage 2 ...
Reactivation of Hippocampal Ensemble Memories During Sleep
Simultaneous recordings were made from large ensembles of hippocampal "place cells" in three rats during spatial behavioral tasks and in slow-wave sleep preceding and following ...
Short duration synchronization of human theta rhythm during recognition memory
Structures within the medial temporal lobe, particularly the hippocampus, have long been implicated in human episodic memory. The same structures are known to generate EEG in th...
