Here, we tested the circuit mechanism behind assembly interactions between the hippocampus and the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of adult rats by recording neuronal populations during a rule-switching task. We identified functionally coupled CA1-mPFC cells that synchronized their activity beyond that expected from common spatial coding or oscillatory firing. When such cell pairs fired together, the mPFC cell strongly phase locked to CA1 theta oscillations and maintained consistent theta firing phases, independent of the theta timing of their CA1 counterpart. These functionally connected CA1-mPFC cells formed interconnected assemblies. While firing together with their CA1 assembly partners, mPFC cells fired along specific theta sequences. Our results suggest that upregulated theta oscillatory firing of mPFC cells can signal transient interactions with specific CA1 assemblies, thus enabling distributed computations."}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"day":"26","author":[{"full_name":"Nardin, Michele","id":"30BD0376-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Michele","last_name":"Nardin","orcid":"0000-0001-8849-6570"},{"last_name":"Käfer","first_name":"Karola","id":"2DAA49AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Käfer, Karola"},{"full_name":"Stella, Federico","id":"39AF1E74-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Federico","last_name":"Stella","orcid":"0000-0001-9439-3148"},{"first_name":"Jozsef L","last_name":"Csicsvari","orcid":"0000-0002-5193-4036","full_name":"Csicsvari, Jozsef L","id":"3FA14672-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}]}
