Regulation of locomotion by hippocampal theta oscillations

by Franziska Bender

Hippocampal theta oscillations support encoding of an animal's position during spatial navigation and theta frequency is correlated with running speed. However, whether hippocampal theta oscillations regulate locomotion remained a long-standing question. Only since recently distinct brain pathways can be manipulated with high spatial and temporal precision using optogenetics. In this study hippocampal theta oscillations were entrained by optogenetically...
