Previous studies suggested that the intrahippocampal
interactions may be governed by gamma oscillations,
while hippocampal-cortical interactions might be
directed by low frequency oscillation and/or sharp
wave-ripple. However, exactly how different frequency
contributes to large-scale intrahippocampal and
hippocampal-cortical interactions remains largely
unknown. In this study, optogenetic functional MRI was
applied to investigate the frequency-dependent
hippocampal network activity. Large-scale hippocampal
and cortical activations were found during 40Hz and 1Hz
stimulation, respectively. This is also the first study
demonstrating large-scale and widespread hippocampal-cortical
activity by driving CaMKIIa-positive cells in the dorsal
hippocampus. This widespread hippocampal-cortical
activity suggests that the generation of low frequency
oscillation in the dorsal hippocampus can modulate
cortical activity.
