Traces of Experience in the Lateral Entorhinal Cortex
A growing body of evidence suggests that memories are stored in the hippocampus by integrating spatial information from specialized cell types in the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) with nonspatial information from cells in the lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC). LEC neurons show little spatial modulation when rats run in empty open-field environments but fire in the vicinity of discrete objects, s...
متن کاملCellular properties of principal neurons in the rat entorhinal cortex. I. The lateral entorhinal cortex.
The lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC) provides a major cortical input to the hippocampal formation, equaling that of the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC). To understand the functional contributions made by LEC, basic knowledge of individual neurons, in the context of the intrinsic network, is needed. The aim of this study is to compare physiological and morphological properties of principal neurons...
متن کاملEncoding and retrieval of artificial visuoauditory memory traces in the auditory cortex requires the entorhinal cortex.
Damage to the medial temporal lobe impairs the encoding of new memories and the retrieval of memories acquired immediately before the damage in human. In this study, we demonstrated that artificial visuoauditory memory traces can be established in the rat auditory cortex and that their encoding and retrieval depend on the entorhinal cortex of the medial temporal lobe in the rat. We trained rats...
متن کاملDopaminergic Suppression of Synaptic Transmission in the Lateral Entorhinal Cortex
Dopaminergic projections to the superficial layers of the lateral entorhinal cortex can modulate the strength of olfactory inputs to the region. We have found that low concentrations of dopamine facilitate field EPSPs in the entorhinal cortex, and that higher concentrations of dopamine suppress synaptic responses. Here, we have used whole-cell current clamp recordings from layer II neurons to d...
متن کاملTheta modulation in the medial and the lateral entorhinal cortex
37 38 Hippocampal neurons show a strong modulation by theta frequency oscillations. 39 This modulation is thought to be important for temporal encoding and decoding of 40 information in the hippocampal system, as well as for temporal ordering of neuronal 41 activities on time scales at which physiological mechanisms of synaptic plasticity 42 operate. The medial entorhinal cortex (MEC), one of t...
