Neural dynamics and brain function

Septum units in the rabbit discharge in regular bursts synchronous with the hippocampus theta rhythm but with different phase relationships. Superimposition of time histograms of these bursts with regard to their phase relationships to the theta wave, results in a curve similar to the theta wave in shape. Therefore, the theta rhythm can be interpreted as being determined by the frequency distribution of the firing of septum units.
