Brainstem-diencephalo-septohippocampal systems controlling the theta rhythm of the hippocampus.

RP Vertes, B Kocsis - Neuroscience, 1997 - europepmc.org
We present a new model for the generation of theta rhythm of the hippocampus. We propose
that theta at CA1 involves extracellular current fluxes produced by alternating depolarizing …

Sleep-dependent θ oscillations in the human hippocampus and neocortex

…, MJ Kahana, JR Madsen, B Kocsis - Journal of …, 2003 - Soc Neuroscience
Hippocampal θ waves recorded during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep are thought to play
a critical role in memory consolidation in lower mammals, but previous attempts to detect …

[HTML][HTML] Prominent burst firing of dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area during paradoxical sleep

…, B Astier, N Vautrelle, N Urbain, B Kocsis… - …, 2007 - nature.com
Dopamine is involved in motivation, memory, and reward processing. However, it is not clear
whether the activity of dopamine neurons is related or not to vigilance states. Using unit …

Cortically projecting basal forebrain parvalbumin neurons regulate cortical gamma band oscillations

…, C Yang, JH Choi, L Chen, B Kocsis… - Proceedings of the …, 2015 - National Acad Sciences
Cortical gamma band oscillations (GBO, 30–80 Hz, typically ∼40 Hz) are involved in higher
cognitive functions such as feature binding, attention, and working memory. GBO …

Interdependence of multiple theta generators in the hippocampus: a partial coherence analysis

B Kocsis, A Bragin, G Buzsáki - Journal of Neuroscience, 1999 - Soc Neuroscience
The extracellularly recorded theta oscillation reflects a dynamic interaction of various synaptic
and cellular mechanisms. Because the spatially overlapping dipoles responsible for the …

Characterization of neurons of the supramammillary nucleus and mammillary body that discharge rhythmically with the hippocampal theta rhythm in the rat

B Kocsis, RP Vertes - Journal of Neuroscience, 1994 - Soc Neuroscience
We examined the activity of single cells of the supramammillary nucleus (SUM), the mammillary
body (MB), and adjacent regions of the diencephalon with respect to the hippocampal …

Projections of the dorsal raphe nucleus to the brainstem: PHA‐L analysis in the rat

RP Vertes, B Kocsis - Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1994 - Wiley Online Library
Early studies that used older tracing techniques reported exceedingly few projections from
the dorsal raphe nucleus (DR) to the brainstem. The present report examined DR projections …

Serotonergic neuron diversity: identification of raphe neurons with discharges time-locked to the hippocampal theta rhythm

B Kocsis, V Varga, L Dahan… - Proceedings of the …, 2006 - National Acad Sciences
The serotonergic system plays a key role in the regulation of brain states, and many of the
known features of serotonergic neurons appear to match this function. Midbrain raphe nuclei …

Activation of cannabinoid-1 receptors disrupts sensory gating and neuronal oscillation: relevance to schizophrenia

M Hajós, WE Hoffmann, B Kocsis - Biological psychiatry, 2008 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: Impaired auditory gating and abnormal neuronal synchrony are indicators
of dysfunctional information processing in schizophrenia patients and possible underlying …

Differential role of NR2A and NR2B subunits in N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist-induced aberrant cortical gamma oscillations

B Kocsis - Biological psychiatry, 2012 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA-R) hypofunction plays an important
role in cognitive impairment in schizophrenia. NMDA-R antagonists elicit psychotic …
