The hippocampus and prefrontal cortex are crucial for learning and memory-guided behavior, but neural mechanisms underlying their coordinated operation are currently unclear. Recent evidence indicates that different network activity patterns, each marked by local field potential signatures, play distinct roles in mediating long-range interactions between these regions to support memory processing. We propose that network patterns underlie multiple communication modes between these regions, and support different cognitive demands during ongoing behavior. Network patterns may represent a fundamental neurophysiological mechanism through which the hippocampus communicates memory-related information with other regions. Dissecting the causal roles of these network patterns in cognitive processes has the potential to delineate a coherent and dynamic functional organization across hippocampal and prefrontal networks during memory-guided behavior.
Distinct network states in the hippocampal-prefrontal network during behavior(a) Spike and local field potential (LFP) activity in CA1 region of the hippocampus (green) and PFC (black) as an animal approaches a reward well in a spatial task. From top to bottom, the plot shows respectively: broadband LFP (1β400 Hz) in CA1, ripple band filtered LFP (150β250 Hz) in CA1, raster plot with spikes from 18 CA1 place cells, broadband LFP in PFC, raster plot with spikes from 7 PFC neurons, and animal speed. As the animal runs on the track (speed scale bar: 10 cm/sec), CA1 place cells fire in a sequential order. (b) When the animal stops at the reward well, SWRs and replay activity are prominent in the hippocampus. Vertical gray rectangle backgrounds in a denote SWRs detected in CA1 LFP. (c) Theta oscillations are seen in hippocampus during running. Shaded area over CA1 LFP from a on an expanded time scale. Theta filtered LFP (6β12 Hz) is shown overlaid with the broadband LFP.

Theta and SWR interactions in the hippocampal-prefrontal network during behavior(a) Example of CA1 and PFC cells with overlapping spatial patterns of firing in a W-track spatial alternation task. Color scale indicates spiking intensity on the track. Both cells are preferentially active during outbound trajectories to right (arrows). (b) Schematic illustrating theta coupling between CA1 and PFC observed during exploratory behavior. Schematic on left illustrates phase-locking of spiking to theta oscillations; the one on right illustrates coherence, i.e. phase alignment of theta oscillations in CA1 and PFC. (c) CA1 and PFC cells are phase-locked to hippocampal theta at different characteristic phases. (d) Increase in CA1-PFC theta coherence specifically in the theta band (6β12 Hz) as animals approach the choice point in a maze. (e) Schematic illustrating replay of CA1 place cells during SWRs. Decoded CA1 activity represents spatial trajectories in the maze. SWRs are observed primarily at reward locations (cyan circles) on the W-maze. (f) Activity of CA1 and PFC cells aligned to hippocampal SWRs. PFC cells show both SWR-triggered activation and suppression of activity. (g) Reactivation of spatial information in the hippocampal-prefrontal network. CA1-PFC cell pairs with high spatial overlap are reactivated together during SWRs, while those with dissimilar patterns are suppressed. Adapted from [31**] with permission from authors.
Different network patterns can represent different modes of communication between brain regions. (a) Schematic illustrating that multiple network activity patterns mediate hippocampal-prefrontal interactions during memory-guided behavior. Theta interactions, associated with place cell activity in the hippocampus, are prominent as animals traverse locations in spatial mazes. Awake SWRs are associated with coordinated reactivation of ongoing experience in hippocampal-prefrontal ensembles. During SWRs, PFC cells with representations related to concurrently reactivated hippocampal cells are preferentially excited, while PFC cells with unrelated representations are inhibited. Gamma synchrony also mediates hippocampal-prefrontal interactions, and may play a role in organizing theta and SWR interactions. (b) A closed-loop feedback strategy that couples real-time detection to optogenetic perturbation can be used to selectively perturb communication during specific activity patterns (illustrated for SWRs).
