TLDR
It is suggested that rhythmical slow activity in the hippocampus and diencephalon are the electrical sign of activity in a forebrain mechanism which organizes or initiates higher (voluntary) motor acts.

The hippocampus as a spatial map. Preliminary evidence from unit activity in the freely-moving rat

TL;DR: Preliminary observations on the behaviour of hippocampusal units in the freely moving rat provide support for this theory of hippocampal function.

Rhythms of the brain

TL;DR: The brain's default state: self-organized oscillations in rest and sleep, and perturbation of the default patterns by experience.

Theta Oscillations in the Hippocampus

TL;DR: Theta oscillations represent the "on-line" state of the hippocampus and are believed to be critical for temporal coding/decoding of active neuronal ensembles and the modification of synaptic weights.

Reactivation of hippocampal ensemble memories during sleep.

TL;DR: In this paper, large ensembles of hippocampal "place cells" were recorded from three rats during spatial behavioral tasks and in slow-wave sleep preceding and following these behaviors, showing an increased tendency to fire together during subsequent sleep, in comparison to sleep episodes preceding the behavioral tasks.

Exercise: a behavioral intervention to enhance brain health and plasticity

TL;DR: High-density oligonucleotide microarray analysis has demonstrated that, in addition to increasing levels of BDNF, exercise mobilizes gene expression profiles that would be predicted to benefit brain plasticity processes, suggesting that exercise could provide a simple means to maintain brain function and promote brain Plasticity.

Hippocampal electrical activity during the development of conditioned reflexes

TL;DR: The conclusion is advanced that the hippocampus plays an essential role in the inhibition of the orientative reflex and in the stabilization of the temporary connection, which would explain the role of hippocampal lesions in the development of Korsakoff's syndrome.
