In this chapter, theta's role in memory processing, and specifically in synaptic modification,
will be discussed. First, we will present a brief review of the role of the hippocampus in …

A few studies support the idea that the theta rhythm modulates synaptic plasticity by
demonstrating that the phase of the theta cycle at which the induction stimuli are delivered …

Theta rhythm and long-term potentiation (LTP) are 2 remarkable discoveries. The theta
rhythm is an oscillatory neural activity of 3–10 Hz in the hippocampus. LTP is implicated as a …

This review summarizes data on the plasticity of hippocampal synaptic pathways in
conditions of afferent activation modeling the electrical activity of neurons during the theta …

Hippocampal theta rhythm facilitates memory formation. This study investigated the temporal
relation of long-term potentiation (LTP) with the hippocampal theta rhythm. I hypothesize that …

The data are reviewed concerning synaptic plasticity of the hippocampal monosynaptic
pathways evoked by afferent activation which simulates activity of neurons in theta-rhythm …

The hippocampal theta rhythm is a prominent oscillation in the field potential observed
throughout the hippocampus as a rat investigates stimuli in the environment. A recent …

The theta rhythm is an oscillation of 3–12 hz that has been recorded from the hippocampus
of several mammalian species. This thesis examines the relationship of this rhythm with …

Rodent studies suggest that spike timing relative to hippocampal theta activity determines
whether potentiation or depression of synapses arise. Such changes also depend on spike …

Working with simpler tasks, we are hoping to uncover how oscillatory activity relates to
specific components of cognitive function. Combined with insights from the rodent literature …
