The hippocampal cacophony: multiple layers of communication.
Locally generated gamma oscillations synchronize spikes, but the nature of coupling between regions remains unclear. In this issue of Neuron, Schomburg et al. (2014) show that afferent gamma input fails to entrain hippocampal output, suggesting limited propagation of gamma waves.
