Abstract
The hippocampus-prefrontal cortex (HPC-PFC) pathway plays a fundamental role in executive and emotional functions. Neurophysiological studies have begun to unveil the dynamics of HPC-PFC interaction in both immediate demands and long-term adaptations. Disruptions in HPC-PFC functional connectivity can contribute to neuropsychiatric symptoms observed in mental illnesses and neurological conditions, such as schizophrenia, depression, anxiety disorders, and Alzheimer's disease. Given the role in functional and dysfunctional physiology, it is crucial to understand the mechanisms that modulate the dynamics of HPC-PFC communication. Two of the main mechanisms that regulate HPC-PFC interactions are synaptic plasticity and modulatory neurotransmission. Synaptic plasticity can be investigated inducing long-term potentiation or long-term depression, while spontaneous functional connectivity can be inferred by statistical dependencies between the local field potentials of both regions. In turn, several neurotransmitters, such as acetylcholine, dopamine, serotonin, noradrenaline, and endocannabinoids, can regulate the fine-tuning of HPC-PFC connectivity. Despite experimental evidence, the effects of neuromodulation on HPC-PFC neuronal dynamics from cellular to behavioral levels are not fully understood. The current literature lacks a review that focuses on the main neurotransmitter interactions with HPC-PFC activity. Here we reviewed studies showing the effects of the main neurotransmitter systems in long- and short-term HPC-PFC synaptic plasticity. We also looked for the neuromodulatory effects on HPC-PFC oscillatory coordination. Finally, we review the implications of HPC-PFC disruption in synaptic plasticity and functional connectivity on cognition and neuropsychiatric disorders. The comprehensive overview of these impairments could help better understand the role of neuromodulation in HPC-PFC communication and generate insights into the etiology and physiopathology of clinical conditions.

Abstract
Our early weaning schedule was associated with the emergence of trait anxiety in male
rodents performing an elevated plus maze but not an open-field test. We previously
reported that early weaning weakened excitatory neurotransmission to the amygdala from the
prefrontal cortex, where the mesocorticolimbic dopaminergic (DAergic) fiber terminates on
each. In this study, we investigated DAergic transmission in both these brain regions. The
extracellular levels of amygdalar DA in adulthood were two times higher in rats weaned at
16 days compared to those weaned at 30 days in both the home cage and the open-field. This
difference in extracellular DA levels was not apparent in the prefrontal cortex. The
concurrently measured locomotor and rearing behaviors did not vary according to the
weaning period and the probe-implanted region, respectively. These results suggest that
the effects of early weaning on DA tone appear to be specific to the amygdala and do not
represent ubiquitous upregulation as these changes were not observed in the prefrontal
cortex.

Abstract
Executive functions and working memory are long known to involve the prefrontal cortex (PFC), and two PFC-projecting areas: midline/paramidline thalamus (MLT) and cornus ammonis 1 (CA1)/subiculum of the hippocampal formation (HF). An increasing number of rodent electrophysiology studies are examining these substrates together, thus providing circuit-level perspectives on input convergence, synaptic plasticity and functional coupling, as well as insights into cognition mechanisms and brain disorders. Our review article puts this literature into a method-oriented narrative. As revisited throughout the text, limbic thalamic and hippocampal afferents to the PFC gate one another’s inputs, which in turn are modulated by PFC interneurons and ascending monoaminergic projections. In addition, long-term synaptic plasticity, paired-pulse facilitation (PPF), and event-related potentials (ERP) dynamically vary across PFC-related circuits during learning paradigms and drug effects. Finally, thalamic-prefrontal loops, which have been shown to amplify both cognitive processes and limbic seizures, are also being implicated as relays in the prefrontal-hippocampal feedback, contributing to spatial navigation and decision making. Based on these issues, we conclude the review with a critical synthesis and some research directions.

Interaction between hippocampal-prefrontal plasticity and thalamic-prefrontal activity. Sci Rep 2018; 8:1382.

Abstract
The prefrontal cortex integrates a variety of cognition-related inputs, either unidirectional, e.g., from the hippocampal formation, or bidirectional, e.g., with the limbic thalamus. While the former is usually implicated in synaptic plasticity, the latter is better known for regulating ongoing activity. Interactions between these processes via prefrontal neurons are possibly important for linking mnemonic and executive functions. Our work further elucidates such dynamics using in vivo electrophysiology in rats. First, we report that electrical pulses into CA1/subiculum trigger late-onset (>400 ms) firing responses in the medial prefrontal cortex, which are increased after induction of long-term potentiation. Then, we show these responses to be attenuated by optogenetic control of the paraventricular/mediodorsal thalamic area. This suggests that recruitment and plasticity of the hippocampal-prefrontal pathway is partially related to the thalamic-prefrontal loop. When dysfunctional, this interaction may contribute to cognitive deficits, psychotic symptoms, and seizure generalization, which should motivate future studies combining behavioural paradigms and long-range circuit assessment.

Abstract
Proper performance of acquired abilities can be disturbed by the unexpected occurrence of external changes. Rats trained with an operant conditioning task (to press a lever in order to obtain a food pellet) using a fixed-ratio (1:1) schedule were subsequently placed in a Skinner box in which the lever could be removed randomly. Field postsynaptic potentials (fPSPs) were chronically evoked in perforant pathway-hippocampal CA1 (PP-CA1), CA1-subiculum (CA1-SUB), CA1-medial prefrontal cortex (CA1-mPFC), mPFC-nucleus accumbens (mPFC-NAc), and mPFC-basolateral amygdala (mPFC-BLA) synapses during lever IN and lever OUT situations. While lever presses were accompanied by a significant increase in fPSP slopes at the five synapses, the unpredictable absence of the lever were accompanied by decreased fPSP slopes in all, except PP-CA1 synapses. Spectral analysis of local field potentials (LFPs) recorded when the animal approached the corresponding area in the lever OUT situation presented lower spectral powers than during lever IN occasions for all recording sites, apart from CA1. Thus, the unpredictable availability of a reward-related cue modified the activity of cortical and subcortical areas related with the acquisition of operant learning tasks, suggesting an immediate functional reorganization of these neural circuits to address the changed situation and to modify ongoing behaviors accordingly.

Abstract
Decision-making and other cognitive processes are assumed to take place in the prefrontal cortex. In particular, the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is identified in rodents by its dense connectivity with the mediodorsal (MD) thalamus, and because of its inputs from other sites, such as hippocampus and amygdala (Amyg). The aim of this study was to find a putative relationship between the behavior of mice during the performance of decision-making tasks that involve penalties as a consequence of induced actions, and the strength of field postsynaptic potentials (fPSPs) evoked in the prefrontal cortex from its thalamic, hippocampal, and amygdalar afferents. Mice were chronically implanted with stimulating electrodes in the MD thalamus, the hippocampal CA1 area, or the basolateral amygdala (BLA), and with recording electrodes in the prelimbic/infralimbic area of the prefrontal cortex. Additional stimulating electrodes aimed at evoking negative reinforcements were implanted on the trigeminal nerve. FPSPs evoked at the mPFC from the three selected projecting areas during the food/shock decision-making task decreased in amplitude with shock intensity and animals' avoidance of the reward. FPSPs collected during the operant task also decreased in amplitude (but that evoked by amygdalar stimulation) when lever presses were associated with a trigeminal shock. Results showed a general decrease in the strength of these potentials when animals inhibited their natural or learned appetitive behaviors, suggesting an inhibition of the prefrontal cortex in these conflicting situations.

Abstract
The hippocampo-prefrontal pathway is a unique projection that connects distant ends of the cerebral cortex. The direct hippocampo-prefrontal projection arises from the ventral to intermediate third of the hippocampus, but not from the dorsal third. It forms a funnel-shaped structure that collects information from the large hippocampal area and projects it to the prefrontal cortex. The anatomical regional differentiation of the projection has not been described. The hippocampal region is differentiated into structural and behavioural roles. For example, it has been shown that the ventral, but not the dorsal, hippocampus reciprocally connects with the amygdala and influences emotional behaviours. These data imply that hippocampal variation along the dorso-ventral axis is contained within the hippocampo-prefrontal pathway. Here, we present electrophysiological studies that demonstrate regional differences in short- but not long-term plasticity in the intermediate/posterior-dorsal and ventral routes of the hippocampo-prefrontal pathway. Furthermore, behavioural studies revealed that each route appears to play a different role in working memory. These results suggest that hippocampal regional information is processed through different routes, with the integration of individual regulatory functions in the prefrontal convergent system.

Abstract
We recorded multiple unit activities of the CA1 region of the intermediate hippocampus and prelimbic area of the prefrontal cortex, and evoked responses in the prefrontal cortex by hippocampal stimulation in urethane-anesthetized rats. The multiple unit activities between these regions showed significant peaks of cross-correlograms, which indicated that firing initiated mainly from either the hippocampus (type HP) or the prefrontal cortex (type PH). In type HP, the slopes of evoked responses showed a significant inverse correlation with peak heights of cross-correlograms and number of bursts of multiple unit activities. These results suggest that multiple unit activity-based cross-correlograms (a measurement to test functional connectivity) are influenced by both evoked response (synaptic connectivity) and effects of local circuits.

Abstract
Neuronal network oscillations are a unifying phenomenon in neuroscience research, with comparable measurements across scales and species. Cortical oscillations are of central importance in the characterization of neuronal network function in health and disease and are influential in effective drug development. Whilst animal in vitro and in vivo electrophysiology is able to characterize pharmacologically induced modulations in neuronal activity, present human counterparts have spatial and temporal limitations. Consequently, the potential applications for a human equivalent are extensive. Here, we demonstrate a novel implementation of contemporary neuroimaging methods called pharmaco‐magnetoencephalography. This approach determines the spatial profile of neuronal network oscillatory power change across the cortex following drug administration and reconstructs the time course of these modulations at focal regions of interest. As a proof of concept, we characterize the nonspecific GABAergic modulator diazepam, which has a broad range of therapeutic applications. We demonstrate that diazepam variously modulates θ (4–7 Hz), α (7–14 Hz), β (15–25 Hz), and γ (30–80 Hz) frequency oscillations in specific regions of the cortex, with a pharmacodynamic profile consistent with that of drug uptake. We examine the relevance of these results with regard to the spatial and temporal observations from other modalities and the various therapeutic consequences of diazepam and discuss the potential applications of such an approach in terms of drug development and translational neuroscience.

Abstract
Changes in the state of CREB phosphorylation and in LTP in the hippocampus have been associated with learning and memory. Here we show that galanin, the neuropeptide released in the hippocampal formation from cholinergic and noradrenergic fibers, that has been shown to produce impairments in memory consolidation in the Morris water maze task inhibits both LTP and CREB phosphorylation in the rat hippocampus in vivo. While there are many transmitters regulating CREB phosphorylation none has been shown to suppress behaviorally-induced hippocampal CREB phosphorylation as potently as galanin. The in vivo inhibition of dentate gyrus-LTP and of CREB phosphorylation by the agonist occupancy of GalR1 and GalR2-type galanin receptors provides strong in vivo cellular and molecular correlates to galanin-induced learning deficits and designates galanin as a major regulator of the memory consolidation process.

Abstract
The action of the pulse-modulated GSM radiofrequency of mobile phones has been suggested as a physical phenomenon that might have biological effects on the mammalian central nervous system. In the present study, GSM-exposed picrotoxin-pretreated rats showed differences in clinical and EEG signs, and in c-Fos expression in the brain, with respect to picrotoxin-treated rats exposed to an equivalent dose of unmodulated radiation. Neither radiation treatment caused tissue heating, so thermal effects can be ruled out. The most marked effects of GSM radiation on c-Fos expression in picrotoxin-treated rats were observed in limbic structures, olfactory cortex areas and subcortical areas, the dentate gyrus, and the central lateral nucleus of the thalamic intralaminar nucleus group. Nonpicrotoxin-treated animals exposed to unmodulated radiation showed the highest levels of neuronal c-Fos expression in cortical areas. These results suggest a specific effect of the pulse modulation of GSM radiation on brain activity of a picrotoxin-induced seizure-proneness rat model and indicate that this mobile-phone-type radiation might induce regional changes in previous preexcitability conditions of neuronal activation.

Abstract
To determine whether spontaneous local field potential (LFP) activities in the rat medial prefrontal cortex influence the responses evoked by hippocampal stimulation, we investigated the relationship between the evoked responses and the LFP powers immediately before the stimulation using anesthetized rats. We demonstrated that the degrees of evoked response showed significant inverse correlations with the prefrontal LFP powers in a specific frequency band (including the gamma band) immediately before the stimulation. The results indicate that the specific frequency band activities in the prefrontal LFPs may be involved in prefrontal responsiveness. Spontaneous LFP activities may have a role in information processing in the hippocampus-prefrontal cortex pathway.
