Preferred theta-phase of firing in rat hippocampal place cells : effects of novelty and scopolamine
The hippocampus supports novelty detection and memory, functions linked to each other and to the theta rhythm. We examined the theta phase preference of CA1 place cells firing. Novelty may favour an encoding mode by enhancing synaptic plasticity and extrinsic sensory inputs (entorhinal cortex to CAn...
