Median raphe lesions, including those restricted to the median raphe nucleus, unequivocally produced hippocampal low-frequency .theta. activity (5.8 Hz, SD = 0.47 Hz) during relaxed immobility which was not observed under normal conditions. This lesion-induced .theta. activity during immobility continued for at least 20 days, and was markedly suppressed by atropine sulfate (10 mg/kg, i.p.). Reticular formation lesions had little effect on either hippocampal EEG patterns during immobility, movement or PS [paradoxical sleep]. The mean frequency of .theta. activity was significantly reduced during movement and PS on the day following the median raphe lesion. A raphe-hippocampal pathway in which the median raphe nucleus plays a major role in hippocampal desynchronization (irregular pattern) by exerting an inhibitory influence on the hippocampal .theta. generating or facilitating mechanism was suggested. Theta activity may well be induced by the disinhibition following median raphe lesions.
