The prefrontal cortex is one of the main brain regions implicated in the neuropathology of schizophrenia [45]. Moreover, disturbances in functional connectivity between the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex have been reported in schizophrenic patients [46,47]. In light of this, two recent studies have used rodent models of schizophrenia to investigate how oscillatory phase-locking between the hippocampus and mPFC is affected by the disease.
