TL;DR: H hippocampal/prefrontal coherence could lead to synchronization of reward predicting activity in prefrontal networks, tagging it for subsequent memory consolidation in rats learning new rules on a Y maze.

TL;DR: The direct and/or indirect relationships of the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and nucleus accumbens with the ventral tegmental area/substantia nigra pars compacta complex (VTA/SNC) will also be described, because these neurons are known to modulate synaptic transmission and plasticity in their target structures and to play a fundamental role in motivational processes.

TL;DR: Findings provide anatomical and functional evidence for nAChR‐mediated modulation of thalamocortical input to the prefrontal cortex and may be relevant to the cognitive effects of nicotine and nicotinic antagonists.

TL;DR: The hippocampus exerts a direct excitatory influence on PFC interneurons and is thus capable of feedforward inhibition of pyramidal cells, resulting in synchronization of a specific subset of PFC neurons with hippocampal activity.

TL;DR: In the rat prefrontal cortex, in vivo, different electrophysiological classes of pyramidal cells whose output firing patterns depend on interactions between their intrinsic properties and the ongoing synaptic activity are found.
