Abstract
Sharp-wave ripples (SWRs) are transient high-frequency oscillations of local field potentials (LFPs) in the hippocampus and play a critical role in memory consolidation. During SWRs, CA1 pyramidal cells exhibit rapid spike sequences that often replay the sequential activity that occurred during behavior. This temporally organized firing activity gradually emerges during 2 weeks after the eye opening; however, it remains unclear how the organized spikes during SWRs mature at the intracellular membrane potential (Vm) level. Here, we recorded Vm of CA1 pyramidal cells simultaneously with hippocampal LFPs from anesthetized immature mice of either sex after the developmental emergence of SWRs. On postnatal days 16 and 17, Vm dynamics around SWRs were premature, characterized by prolonged depolarizations without either pre- or post-SWR hyperpolarizations. The biphasic hyperpolarizations, features typical of adult SWR-relevant Vm, formed by approximately postnatal day 30. This Vm maturation was associated with an increase in SWR-associated inhibitory inputs to pyramidal cells. Thus, the development of SWR-relevant inhibition restricts the temporal windows for spikes of pyramidal cells and allows CA1 pyramidal cells to organize their spike sequences during SWRs.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Sharp-wave ripples (SWRs) are prominent hippocampal oscillations and play a critical role in memory consolidation. During SWRs, hippocampal neurons synchronously emit spikes with organized temporal patterns. This temporal structure of spikes during SWRs develops during the third and fourth postnatal weeks, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we recorded in vivo membrane potentials from hippocampal neurons in premature mice and suggest that the maturation of SWR-associated inhibition enables hippocampal neurons to produce precisely controlled spike times during SWRs.

Abstract
Theta (θ) oscillations are one of the characteristic local field potentials (LFPs) in the hippocampus that emerge during spatial navigation, exploratory sniffing, and rapid eye movement sleep. LFPs are thought to summarize multineuronal events, including synaptic currents and action potentials. However, no in vivo study to date has directly interrelated θ oscillations with the membrane potentials (Vm) of multiple neurons, and it remains unclear whether LFPs can be predicted from multineuronal Vms. Here, we simultaneously patch-clamp up to three CA1 pyramidal neurons in awake or anesthetized mice and find that the temporal evolution of the power and frequency of θ oscillations in Vms (θVms) are weakly but significantly correlate with LFP θ oscillations (θLFP) such that a deep neural network could predict the θLFP waveforms based on the θVm traces of three neurons. Therefore, individual neurons are loosely interdependent to ensure freedom of activity, but they partially share information to collectively produce θLFP.

Abstract
Sets of spikes emitted sequentially across neurons constitute fundamental pulse packets in neural information processing, including offline memory replay during hippocampal sharp-wave ripples (SWRs). The relative timing of neuronal spikes is fine-tuned in each spike sequence but can vary between different sequences. However, the microcircuitry mechanism that enables such flexible spike sequencing remains unexplored. We recorded the membrane potentials of multiple hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells in mice and found that the neurons were transiently hyperpolarized prior to SWRs. The pre-SWR hyperpolarizations were spatiotemporally heterogeneous, and larger hyperpolarizations were associated with later spikes during SWRs. Intracellular blockade of Cl--mediated inhibition reduced pre-SWR hyperpolarizations and advanced spike times. Single-unit recordings also revealed that the pre-SWR firing rates of inhibitory interneurons predicted the SWR-relevant spike times of pyramidal cells. Thus, pre-SWR inhibitory activity determines the sequential spike times of pyramidal cells and diversifies the repertoire of sequence patterns.

Abstract
Impairment of episodic memory, a class of memory for spatiotemporal context of an event, is an early symptom of Alzheimer's disease. Both spatial and temporal information are encoded and represented in the hippocampal neurons, but how these representations are impaired under amyloid β (Aβ) pathology remains elusive. We performed chronic imaging of the hippocampus in awake male amyloid precursor protein (App) knock-in mice behaving in a virtual reality environment to simultaneously monitor spatiotemporal representations and the progression of Aβ depositions. We found that temporal representation is preserved, whereas spatial representation is significantly impaired in the App knock-in mice. This is because of the overall reduction of active place cells, but not time cells, and compensatory hyperactivation of remaining place cells near Aβ aggregates. These results indicate the differential impact of Aβ aggregates on two major modalities of episodic memory, suggesting different mechanisms for forming and maintaining these two representations in the hippocampus.

Abstract
Alcohol is a traditional social-bonding reinforcer; however, the neural mechanism underlying ethanol-driven social behaviors remains elusive. Here, we report that ethanol facilitates observational fear response. Observer mice exhibited stronger defensive immobility while observing cagemates that received repetitive foot shocks if the observer mice had experienced a brief priming foot shock. This enhancement was associated with an observation-induced recruitment of subsets of anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) neurons in the observer mouse that were responsive to its own pain. The vicariously activated ACC neurons projected their axons preferentially to the basolateral amygdala. Ethanol shifted the ACC neuronal balance toward inhibition, facilitated the preferential ACC neuronal recruitment during observation, and enhanced observational fear response, independent of an oxytocin signaling pathway. Furthermore, ethanol enhanced socially evoked fear response in autism model mice.

Abstract
The CA2 region is unique in the hippocampus; it receives direct synaptic innervations from several hypothalamic nuclei and expresses various receptors of neuromodulators, including adenosine, vasopressin, and oxytocin. Furthermore, the CA2 region may have distinct brain functions, such as the control of instinctive and social behaviors; however, little is known about the dynamics of the subthreshold membrane potentials of CA2 neurons in vivo. We conducted whole-cell current-clamp recordings from CA2 pyramidal cells in urethane-anesthetized mice and monitored the intrinsic fluctuations in their membrane potentials. The CA2 pyramidal cells emitted spontaneous action potentials at mean firing rates of ∼0.8 Hz. In approximately half of the neurons, the subthreshold membrane potential oscillated at ∼3 Hz. In two neurons, we obtained simultaneous recordings of local field potentials from the CA1 stratum radiatum and demonstrated that the 3-Hz oscillations of CA2 neurons were not correlated with CA1 field potentials. In tetrodotoxin-perfused acute hippocampal slices, the membrane potentials of CA2 pyramidal cells were not preferentially entrained to 3-Hz sinusoidal current inputs, which suggest that intracellular 3-Hz oscillations reflect the neuronal dynamics of the surrounding networks. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that occurs following an unexpected exposure to a severe psychological event. A history of a brief trauma is reported to affect a risk for future PTSD development; however, little is known about the mechanisms by which a previous trauma exposure drives the sensitivity to a late-coming trauma. Using a mouse PTSD model, we found that a prior foot shock enhances contextual fear conditioning. This shock-induced facilitation of fear conditioning (i.e., priming effect) persisted for 7 days and was prevented by MK801, an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist. Other types of trauma, such as forced swimming or tail pinch, did not induce a priming effect on fear conditioning. Thus, a trauma is unlikely generalized to modify the sensitivity to other traumatic experiences. The behavioral procedure employed in this study may be a useful tool to elucidate the etiology of PTSD.
