Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Recent research indicates that the hippocampus is related to information retention during fixation periods in behavioral tasks. However, little is known about the neuronal mechanisms involved. We trained rats to fixate for one second during an alternation task while recording local field potentials from the hippocampal CA1 area. Our results indicated that gamma activity is modulated by theta oscillation during fixation and also that gamma-band modulation shifts from a high to a low frequency band. We propose that during early periods of fixation, the CA1 area receives extra-hippocampal information from entorhinal cortex (which sends high gamma oscillation). Subsequently, during late periods of fixation the CA1 area receives inputs from the CA3 area (which sends low gamma oscillations) which is related to behavioral expectation.
