| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Little is known about how retrosplenial cortex (RSC) and prefrontal cortex (PFC) interact with hippocampus (CA1) in temporal coding, which is defined as phase-modulation of CA1 neurons by theta oscillation, for configural associative memory. Here, we investigated task-related neuronal activity in PFC, RSC, and CA1 during the cue-combination task, which requires the rat to associate odor and sound cues for making a correct choice. As the results, subsets of both RSC and PFC neurons were phase-modulated by CA1 theta oscillations, and these neurons showed synchronous firing activity with CA1 neurons during the task. These results suggest that temporal coding in hippocampus could be the global interaction across the hippocampal-cortical circuits.
