We’re excited to highlight this interesting research that explores how different neurons in the hippocampus synchronize with gamma oscillations linked to cognitive functions. In the study titled “Major Individual and Regional Variations in Unit Entrainment by Gamma Oscillations in the Rodent Hippocampus” by Badawy et al, researchers investigated how individual neurons in different regions of the rodent hippocampus synchronize with gamma oscillations. They utilized Neuronexus 32- and 64- channel penetrating probes to record neural activity across various hippocampal areas.
The findings revealed significant variability in how neurons across different regions and individual subjects entrain to gamma oscillations. These results suggest that gamma oscillatory entrainment is not uniform throughout the hippocampus and may have implications for understanding the neural basis of cognitive functions such as learning and memory. The use of NeuroNexus’s advanced neural recording technology was crucial in capturing the detailed neural dynamics underlying these observations.
