Working memory performance correlates with prefrontal-hippocampal theta interactions but not with prefrontal neuron firing rates
Performance of memory tasks is impaired by lesions to either the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) or the hippocampus (HPC); although how these two areas contribute to successful performance is not well understood. mPFC unit activity is temporally affected by hippocampal theta oscillations, with almos...
