Seamlessly multiplexing memory storage and recall

Caption

The medial septum is far more than a mere metronome responsible for setting the pace of the hippocampal theta rhythm. It resembles more of a maestro, conducting a symphony of oscillations spanning a broad frequency band, brought to life by the hippocampal orchestra. In doing so, it ensures precise timing for the unconsciously multiplexed memory encoding and retrieval through the hippocampal structures.
