Infraslow modulation of theta synchrony in the hippocampus circuit during REM sleep.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Sleep dynamically reorganizes hippocampal activity, but how this reconfiguration supports large-scale coordination across the hippocampal circuit remains unclear. We performed simultaneous recordings from dorsal (CA1d) and ventral (CA1v) hippocampus, retrosplenial cortex (RSC), prefrontal cortex (PFC), and dorsal thalamus in rats across brain states. Theta oscillations dominated hippocampal activity during active behaviour and REM sleep, while delta oscillations prevailed during nREM and quiet waking. Phase synchrony between CA1d and CA1v varied across states, peaking during REM sleep and exhibiting infraslow fluctuations (0.02 Hz) unique to this stage. These slow modulations persisted after controlling for theta power, suggesting a genuine modulation of interregional synchrony. Transitions into REM were marked by rising CA1d–CA1v synchrony and widespread neuronal activation, with thalamic activity most strongly predicting coupling dynamics. During REM sleep, neuronal firing across hippocampal–cortical–thalamic circuits was phase-locked to the infraslow theta coupling cycle, indicating gain modulation at the network level. Such entrainment was strongest and most consistent in REM and aligned near a common phase, revealing temporally structured communication at multiple scales. Our findings identify an infraslow modulation of hippocampal theta coherence that temporally organizes neuronal excitability across brain regions during REM sleep, offering a systems-level mechanism for regulating inter-regional communication during sleep.
