Circuitry and function of layer 1 interneurons in the medial entorhinal cortex
… patterns. One area in particular, called the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC), contains a high density of spatially-tuned cell types that are thought to be integral to a dynamic perception of location. These cells are mostly concentrated in the superficial layers of the MEC and have been …

The effects of periodic and non-periodic inputs on the dynamics of a medial entorhinal cortex layer II stellate cell model
… Previous experimental work has shown that medial entorhinal cortex layer II stellate cells (SCs) exhibit sub-threshold and firing frequency resonance in the theta frequency band (4 - 10 Hz). In this thesis we seek to understand the biophysical and dynamic mechanism underlying these …

The Medial Entorhinal Cortex's role in temporal and working memory : characterization of a mouse lacking synaptic transmission in Medial Entorhinal Cortex Layer III
… association of multiple input streams within the medial temporal lobe. Understanding the role each neuronal circuit and projection plays in learning and memory is essential to understanding how declarative and episodic-like memories are formed. This work here addresses the role of the medial …

Error correction in the hippocampal-medial-entorhinal cognitive map
Error correction in the hippocampal-medial-entorhinal cognitive map Tereza Vargová Summary Spatial navigation is a crucial skill for survival. The hippocampal-medial-entorhinal network contains multiple classes of spatially modulated cells, namely place cells, grid cells, border cells, and head …

Charting the hippocampal cognitive map: Investigating the emergence of grid cell and place cell firing patterns in novel and familiar environments
… summation of different grid cells from the medial entorhinal cortex. However, recent experimental evidence shows place cells emerging in novel environments without grid cells. The experimental framework of this thesis is guided by the Field-boundary interaction model which argues that place …

Influence of perforant path synaptic excitation on the initiation of hippocampal sharp-wave ripple activity in vitro
… to coordinate memory consolidation to the neocortex (NC) by (1) reactivating small subsets of neurons (i.e. cell-assemblies) that encode recent waking experience and (2) propagating this information through the hippocampal formation. Although CA3 self-organizes SWRs in the absence of extrinsic …

Granular retrosplenial cortex layer 2/3 generates high frequency oscillation events coupled with hippocampal sharp wave-ripples and Str. LM high gamma
… reorganization. The granular retrosplenial cortex (gRSC) is an associational area that exhibits high frequency oscillations (HFOs) during both hippocampal theta and SPW-Rs, and is potentially a period when the gRSC interprets incoming content from the hippocampus during encoding and systems …
