Hippocampal theta oscillations are slower in humans than in rodents: implications for models of spatial navigation and memory

J Jacobs - … Transactions of the Royal Society B …, 2014 - royalsocietypublishing.org
The theta oscillation is a neuroscience enigma. When a rat runs through an environment,
large-amplitude theta oscillations (4–10 Hz) reliably appear in the hippocampus's electrical …

Traveling theta waves in the human hippocampus

H Zhang, J Jacobs - Journal of Neuroscience, 2015 - Soc Neuroscience
The hippocampal theta oscillation is strongly correlated with behaviors such as memory and

Theta activity, virtual navigation and the human hippocampus

J O'Keefe, N Burgess - Trends in cognitive sciences, 1999 - cell.com
The theta rhythm is a prominent oscillatory EEG pattern recorded from the mammalian
hippocampus. It has been studied most extensively in the rat but is also known to exist in the …

Memory-related processing is the primary driver of human hippocampal theta oscillations

SE Seger, JLS Kriegel, BC Lega, AD Ekstrom - Neuron, 2023 - cell.com
Decades of work in rodents suggest that movement is a powerful driver of hippocampal low-
frequency" theta" oscillations. Puzzlingly, such movement-related theta increases in …

Human hippocampal theta oscillations and the formation of episodic memories

BC Lega, J Jacobs, M Kahana - Hippocampus, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
The importance of the hippocampal theta oscillation (4–8 Hz) to memory formation has been
well‐established through studies in animals, prompting researchers to propose …

Self-generated theta oscillations in the hippocampus

R Goutagny, J Jackson, S Williams - Nature neuroscience, 2009 - nature.com
Hippocampal theta rhythm is crucial for spatial memory and is thought to be generated by
extrinsic inputs. In contrast, using a complete rat hippocampus in vitro, we found several …

Theta power and theta‐gamma coupling support long‐term spatial memory retrieval

U Vivekananda, D Bush, JA Bisby, S Baxendale… - …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Hippocampal theta oscillations have been implicated in spatial memory function in both
rodents and humans. What is less clear is how hippocampal theta interacts with higher …

VD Bohbot, MS Copara, J Gotman… - Nature communications, 2017 - nature.com
Abstract Low-Frequency Oscillations (LFO) in the range of 7–9 Hz, or theta rhythm, has been
recorded in rodents ambulating in the real world. However, intra-hippocampus EEG …
