TLDR
A review of the neuronal and circuit mechanisms involved in the generation of the theta (θ) rhythm and its participation in behavior can be found in this paper, where a growing number of studies suggest that θ may represent a timing mechanism to temporally organize movement sequences, memory encoding, or planned trajectories for spatial navigation.Abstract:
This review focuses on the neuronal and circuit mechanisms involved in the generation of the theta (θ) rhythm and of its participation in behavior. Data have accumulated indicating that θ arises from interactions between medial septum-diagonal band of Broca (MS-DbB) and intra-hippocampal circuits. The intrinsic properties of MS-DbB and hippocampal neurons have also been shown to play a key role in θ generation. A growing number of studies suggest that θ may represent a timing mechanism to temporally organize movement sequences, memory encoding, or planned trajectories for spatial navigation. To accomplish those functions, θ and gamma (γ) oscillations interact during the awake state and REM sleep, which are considered to be critical for learning and memory processes. Further, we discuss that the loss of this interaction is at the base of various neurophatological conditions.read more

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors identified two subpopulations (D28K+ versus D28K−) of cholinergic neurons that are topographically segregated in mice, Macaca fascicularis, and humans to form two structurally defined and functionally distinct circuits.

Mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake by the MCU facilitates pyramidal neuron excitability and metabolism during action potential firing
TL;DR: In this article , the authors used in situ electrophysiology and two-photon imaging of mitochondrial Ca 2+ , cytosolic Ca 2+, and NAD(P)H to test the relevance of MCU activation to pyramidal neuron Ca 2 + signalling and energy metabolism during action potential firing.

Cholinergic Regulation of Hippocampal Theta Rhythm
Zhenglin Gu,Jerrel L. Yakel +1 more
TL;DR: Recent studies strongly suggest that both cholinergic muscarinic and nicotinic receptors do actively regulate type I hippocampal theta oscillations and thus provide the cholinergic mechanism for theta-associated hippocampal learning.

TL;DR: Recent findings indicate that network oscillations bias input selection, temporally link neurons into assemblies, and facilitate synaptic plasticity, mechanisms that cooperatively support temporal representation and long-term consolidation of information.

Regulation of Synaptic Efficacy by Coincidence of Postsynaptic APs and EPSPs
TL;DR: In dual whole-cell voltage recordings from pyramidal neurons, the coincidence of post Synaptic action potentials and unitary excitatory postsynaptic potentials was found to induce changes in EPSPs.

Microstructure of a spatial map in the entorhinal cortex
TL;DR: The dorsocaudal medial entorhinal cortex (dMEC) contains a directionally oriented, topographically organized neural map of the spatial environment, whose key unit is the ‘grid cell’, which is activated whenever the animal's position coincides with any vertex of a regular grid of equilateral triangles spanning the surface of the environment.
