  • Table shows the distribution of all single units isolated and identified as principal cells and interneurons by Quilichini et al. (2010) according to their theta phase-modulated firings and locations within the EC. It shows that neurons located mostly in EC2 were theta phase-modulated, while those from EC5 were not.
