Theta oscillations represent the “on-line” state of the hippocampus. The extracellular currents underlying theta waves are generated mainly by the entorhinal input, CA3 (Schaffer) collaterals, and voltage-dependent Ca2+ currents in pyramidal cell dendrites. The rhythm is believed to be critical for

## Abstract Field potential recordings from the rat hippocampus in vivo contain distinct frequency bands of activity, including δ (0.5–2 Hz), θ (4–12 Hz), and γ (30–80 Hz), that are correlated with the behavioral state of the animal. The cholinergic agonist carbachol (CCH) induces oscillations in t
## Abstract In their laboratory the authors have previously demonstrated that hippocampal slices could be induced to generate trains of “theta‐like” oscillations by whole‐bath perfusions of carbachol. Until recently, it has not been possible to generate similar activity in the septally deafferented
