Migration routes are maintained through coupling of circadian rhythms with spatial memory networks. Restoring disrupted circadian-hippocampal connectivity could treat spatial disorientation in neurodegenerative diseases.

| Prediction | Predicted | Observed | Status | Conf |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IF we selectively knock down CLOCK in hippocampal CA1 place cells using AAV-shRNA-CLOCK in adult mice, THEN place cell spatial coding accuracy will decrease by ≥35% and the temporal coupling between p | ≥35% reduction in spatial information content and ≥40% reduction in circadian-phase locking of place cell firing rates | — no observation — | pending | 0.65 |
| IF we selectively restore BMAL1 expression in the hippocampus of circadian-disrupted BMAL1-flox mice using AAV9-BMAL1 and chemogenetic activation (AAV9-hSyn-DIO-hM3Dq), THEN spatial navigation perform | ≥25% reduction in escape latency to hidden platform and ≥30% increase in platform site crossings during probe trial | — no observation — | pending | 0.55 |
