Bidirectional prefrontal-hippocampal interactions support context-guided memory

TLDR
Functional connectivity analysis indicated a flow of contextual information from the hippocampus to prefrontal cortex upon the rat's entry into the spatial context, consistent with prefrontal control over the retrieval of context-appropriate hippocampal memory representations.
Abstract
We compared the dynamics of hippocampal and prefrontal interactions in rats as they used spatial contexts to guide the retrieval of object memories. Functional connectivity analysis indicated a flow of contextual information from the hippocampus to prefrontal cortex upon the rat's entry into the spatial context. Conversely, upon the onset of object sampling, the direction of information flow reversed, consistent with prefrontal control over the retrieval of context-appropriate hippocampal memory representations.

TL;DR: These findings suggest a model of how the hippocampus and PFC, along with their intermediaries, operate as a system that uses the current context of experience to retrieve relevant memories.

Concussion, microvascular injury, and early tauopathy in young athletes after impact head injury and an impact concussion mouse model.

TL;DR: Using neuropathological analyses of brains from teenage athletes, a new mouse model of concussive impact injury, and computational simulations, Tagge and colleagues show that head injuries can induce TBI and early CTE pathologies independent of concussion.

Oscillatory Dynamics of Prefrontal Cognitive Control

TL;DR: Recent findings that suggest that the functional architecture of cognition is profoundly rhythmic are reviewed and it is proposed that the PFC serves as a conductor to orchestrate task-relevant large-scale networks.

Dynamic updating of hippocampal object representations reflects new conceptual knowledge.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the brain reorganizes when concepts change and provide support for a neurocomputational theory of concept formation and propose that when task goals change, object representations in HPC can be organized in new ways, resulting in updated concepts that highlight the features most critical to the new goal.

The origin of extracellular fields and currents — EEG, ECoG, LFP and spikes

TL;DR: High-density recordings of field activity in animals and subdural grid recordings in humans can provide insight into the cooperative behaviour of neurons, their average synaptic input and their spiking output, and can increase the understanding of how these processes contribute to the extracellular signal.

Mechanisms of Gamma Oscillations

TL;DR: The cellular and synaptic mechanisms underlying gamma oscillations are reviewed and empirical questions and controversial conceptual issues are outlined, finding that gamma-band rhythmogenesis is inextricably tied to perisomatic inhibition.

The functional role of cross-frequency coupling.

TL;DR: CFC might serve as a mechanism to transfer information from large-scale brain networks operating at behavioral timescales to the fast, local cortical processing required for effective computation and synaptic modification, thus integrating functional systems across multiple spatiotemporal scales.
