Understanding how coordinated neural networks support brain functions remains a central goal in neuroscience. The hippocampus, with its layered architecture and structured inputs to diverse cell populations, is a tractable model for dissecting operating microcircuits through the analysis of electrophysiological signatures. We investigated hippocampal network patterns in behaving mice by developing a low-dimensional embedding of local field potentials recorded along the CA1-to-dentate gyrus axis. This embedding revealed layer-specific gamma profiles reflecting spatially organized rhythms and their associated principal cell-interneuron firing motifs. Moreover, firing behaviors along the CA1 radial axis distinguished between deep and superficial principal cells, as well as between interneurons from the pyramidal, radiatum, and lacunosum-moleculare layers. These findings provide a comprehensive map of spatiotemporal activity patterns underlying hippocampal network functions.
