Stimulation of the dorsal fornix or the mammillothalamic tract in rodent models
| Outcome | Species | Stimulation frequency (Hz) | Dorsal fornix | Mammillothalamic tract |
| Thalamic theta oscillations | Rat | 1 | Increase of theta power (Tsanov et al 2011c) | No increase of theta power (Tsanov et al 2011c) |
| 100 | No increase of theta power (Tsanov et al 2011c) |
No increase of theta power (Tsanov et al 2011c) | ||
| Thalamic synaptic plasticity | Rat | 1 | LTD of FP slope and amplitude (Tsanov et al 2011d) | LTP of FP slope and amplitude (Tsanov et al 2011d) |
| 100 | LTP of the FP slope, no effect on FP amplitude (Tsanov et al 2011d) | LTP of FP slope and amplitude (Tsanov et al 2011d) | ||
| Biochemistry | Rat scopolamine IP (0.1 mg/kg) | 10 | – | c-Fos increase in infralimbic and prelimbic cortices (Hescham et al 2015b) |
