"Neural Rhythms: Unveiling the Brain's Orderly Patterns"
Researchers conducted experiments on mice to investigate minute-scale oscillatory sequences in the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC). They performed surgeries to implant microprisms or glass windows for optical access to the MEC and adjacent areas. Two-photon calcium imaging and electrophysiological data were collected, and Neuropixels probes were used for recording neural signals. The mice were trained to run on a wheel under minimal sensory stimulation conditions. The study provides insights into the neural activity patterns in the MEC and their potential role in spatial navigation and memory.
