Fig. 6

a Example traces of the respiratory signal and CA1 pyramidal layer LFP. In the magnified LFP signal, ripple events and the associated spiking activity can be observed. b Average ripple-triggered time-frequency wavelet spectrogram of the CA1 pyramidal layer LFP from one example animal. c Schematic of the CA1 pyramidal and granular cells somatodendritic domains aligned to the average ripple-triggered CSD profile of the hippocampal LFP activity for one example animal. d Ripple-triggered spike train of an example dCA1 neuron exhibiting evoked response and a characteristic oscillatory firing pattern. e Cumulative distribution of the ripple-triggered normalized firing of CA1 and DG PNs (CA1, n = 220 cells; DG, n = 202 cells) and INs (CA1, n = 76 cells; DG, n = 119 cells). f Average cross-correlation between inspiratory events and ripple occurrence (N = 22 freely-behaving and head-fixed mice). Dashed horizontal lines indicate the significance levels. g Distribution of the respiratory phase of occurrence of individual ripple events for one example animal (red; n = 4813 ripples) and preferred phase distribution for the population (blue; N = 22 sessions). Overlaid, distribution of average phase and modulation strength for ripples (black dots). h Phase modulation of ripples before and after OD (N = 7 mice). s.d. standard deviations, arb. units arbitrary units, n.s. not significant, OD olfactory deafferentation. Shaded areas, mean ± SEM. Star indicates significance level (*P < 0.05). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
