A growing body of studies have revealed many spatial cells in hippocampal formation, and similar brain activity patterns at the macroscopic level. With human intracranial EEG recordings, we found that theta power was hexadirectionally modulated by movement direction in the entorhinal cortex and medial prefrontal cortex. Inter-regional theta oscillations formed a synchronized hippocampo-cortical network, speeding up information transfer and facilitating memory-guided spatial navigation. Theta-based goal distance modulation and neural timescales gradually change along the hippocampal longitudinal axis, indicating a coarse-to-fine goal distance representation in the human hippocampus. Memory reactivation following learning of object-location associations increased hippocampal ripples and cortical spindles.
