| abstractText | The hippocampus plays a critical role in spatial navigation and episodic memory. However, research on in vivo hippocampal activity dynamics mostly relies on single modalities, such as electrical recordings or optical imaging, with respectively limited spatial and temporal resolution. Here, we develop the E-Cannula, integrating fully transparent graphene microelectrodes with imaging cannula, which enables simultaneous electrical recording and two-photon calcium imaging from the exact same neural populations across an anatomically extended region of the mouse hippocampal CA1 stably across several days. The large-scale multimodal recordings show that sharp wave ripples (SWRs) exhibit spatiotemporal wave patterns along multiple axes in two-dimensional (2D) space with different spatial extents and temporal propagation modes. Notably, distinct SWR wave patterns are associated with the selective recruitment of orthogonal CA1 cell assemblies. These results demonstrate the utility of the E-Cannula as a versatile neurotechnology with the potential for future integration with other optical components. |
