  26. Declarative memory formation: MTL connectivity Changes of gamma power Nat. Neurosci. 2001; 4: 1259-1264

  27. Declarative memory formation: MTL connectivity Interpretation • Rhinal-hippocampal phase coupling initiates information transfer ( 100 ms poststim.) • Information transfer after onset of rhinal dm-effect (ERPs,  300 ms poststim.) • Phase decoupling terminates information transfer ( 1000 ms poststim.) • Reduced gamma power: specific assembly activation, suppression of gamma “noise”

  28. Declarative memory formation: MTL connectivity Memory-related theta-gamma cooperation • Non-specific increase of theta-coherence •  r = 0.80, p = 0.018 •  • Specific theta-gamma interaction Eur. J. Neurosci. 2003; 17: 1082-1088

  29. Declarative memory formation: MTL connectivity Gamma activity: interactions with theta and action potentials Interactions (hippocampus): Theta (5Hz)   Gamma (>30Hz)   Spikes Chrobak u. Buzsáki, J. Neurosci. 1998

  30. Declarative memory formation: MTL connectivity Hebbian assembly formation • Correlated firing of pre- and postsynaptic neuron  Increase of synaptic efficacy (1949) Experimental validation: • Long-term potentiation and depression (LTP, LDP) • Spike timing dependent synaptic plasticity (STDP) • Synchronized gamma activity: precise spike timing (t < 10 ms)(z.B. Engel u. Singer, Trends Cogn. Sci. 2001; Fries et al., Nat. Neurosci. 2001) Abbott u. Nelson, Nat.. Neurosci. 2000

  31. Declarative memory formation: MTL connectivity Rhinal-hippocampal coupling during sleep • Dreams are difficult to remember • Unrecognized scene shifts • Duration severely misestimated  • Memory formation during (REM-) sleep reduced(e.g. Hobson et al., Behav. Brain Sci. 2000) •  Sleep recordings in 8 unilateral MTLE patients • (Indirect) electrophysiological correlate?

  32. Declarative memory formation: MTL connectivity Rhinal-hippocampal coupling during sleep Eur. J. Neurosci. 2003; 18: 1711-1716

  34. Declarative memory formation: MTL connectivity Memory formation during sleep • Direct correlate? •  Awakenings from REM sleep: dream recall in 6 patients (good, 79.2%) vs. 6 patients (poor, 6.7%) • No group differences in daytime memory performance • Sleep: “spontaneous memory formation”,  attention, volition, semantic processing  Core factor of declarative memory formation

  35. Declarative memory formation: MTL connectivity EEG power within hippocampus

  36. Declarative memory formation: MTL connectivity Rhinal-hippocampal EEG coherence

  37. Declarative memory formation: MTL connectivity Conclusion Rhinal-hippocampal connectivity = core factor of declarative memory formation

  38. Summary • Quantitative EEG-analysis • EEG = superposition of functionally specific oscillations • Averaged ERPs = phase locking + amplitude changes • Connectivity may be more relevant than amplitudes of local activations
