Retrosplenial cortex (RSC) is heavily interconnected with a multitude of cortical regions and is directly connected with the hippocampal formation. As such, it is a likely coordinator of information transfer between the hippocampus (HPC) and cortex in the service of spatial cognition and episodic memory. The current work examined three potential temporal frameworks for retrosplenial-hippocampal communication, namely, theta frequency oscillations (6-12 Hz), sharp-wave/ripple events, and repeating, theta phase-locked shifts from low (30-65 Hz) to high (120-160 Hz) gamma frequency oscillations. From simultaneous recordings of single units and local field potentials (LFPs) in RSC and HPC, we report the presence of prominent theta, low-gamma, and high-gamma oscillations in the retrosplenial LFP. Retrosplenial and hippocampal theta rhythms were strongly coherent and subgroups of retrosplenial neurons exhibited either spiking at theta frequencies and/or spike-phase-locking to theta. Retrosplenial neurons were also phase-locked to local low-and high-gamma rhythms, and power in these frequency bands was coupled in a sequential fashion to specific phases of hippocampal and retrosplenial theta rhythms. Coordinated activity between the two regions also occurred during hippocampal sharp-wave/ripple events, where retrosplenial neuron populations were modulated in their spiking and retrosplenial LFPs exhibited sharp-wave-like events that co-occurred with those observed in HPC. These results identify several temporal windows of synchronization between RSC and HPC that may mediate cortico-hippocampal processes related to learning, memory, and spatial representation.
