What is the Functional Relevance of Prefrontal Cortex Entrainment to Hippocampal Theta Rhythms?

There has been considerable interest in the importance of oscillations in the brain and in how these oscillations relate to the firing of single neurons. Recently a number of studies have shown that the spiking of individual neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) become entrained to the hipp...
