Abstract

In the hippocampus, gamma power modulation by the theta rhythm is interpreted as the signature of temporally coordinated inputs that reflect ongoing processing. In this issue of Neuron, Lopes-Dos-Santos et al. (2018) develop a new methodology demonstrating that theta cycles can be viewed as individual computational units characterized by typical gamma profiles.
