  "summary": "Oscillations play a critical role in orchestrating the timing of neural activity during cognitive processes. In the hippocampus, place cells encode spatial locations, and their activity is organized by theta oscillations into sequences that represent past, present, and potential future states. Recently, scrambling theta oscillations in vivo was shown to impair memory retrieval during navigation…",
