Illuminating cell-type-specific maps of the hippocampal spatial code

Author: Liset M. de la Prida, PhD, Research Professor
Affiliation: Instituto Cajal CSIC, Madrid, Spain

Abstract: Exploration drives the formation of hippocampal cognitive maps, yet understanding how they emerge from the activity of heterogenous cellular populations is unclear. We combine single- and dual-color imaging strategies to dissect cell-type specific contributions to the population code. Our data indicate that the hippocampus operates through parallel genetically-defined subcircuits to simultaneously encode local and global information from the environment in integrated cognitive maps. 

The medial entorhinal cortex encodes multisensory spatial information

Author: Yi Gu, Investigator
Affiliation: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke

Abstract: Animals employ spatial information in multisensory modalities to navigate their natural environments. However, it is unclear whether the brain encodes such information in separate cognitive maps or integrates all into a single, universal map. We addressed this question in the microcircuit of the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC), a cognitive map of space. Using cellular-resolution calcium imaging, we examined the MEC of mice navigating virtual reality tracks, where visual and auditory cues provided comparable spatial information. We uncovered two cell types: “unimodality cells” and “multimodality cells”. The unimodality cells specifically represent either auditory or visual spatial information. They are anatomically intermingled and maintain sensory preferences across multiple tracks and behavioral states. The multimodality cells respond to both sensory modalities with their responses shaped differentially by auditory and visual information. Thus, the MEC enables accurate spatial encoding during multisensory navigation by computing spatial information in different sensory modalities and generating distinct maps.

Distinct timescales of recurrent dynamics in frontal and visual cortices

Author: Lucas Pinto, Assistant Professor
Affiliation: Department of Neuroscience, Northwestern University

Abstract: Cortical areas participate differently in cognitive computation. For example, experiments from my lab show that, during working memory, frontal areas get progressively more active with longer delays, while visual areas are only recruited during short delays. But what microcircuit mechanisms explain this duration-dependent recruitment of cortical regions? In this talk, I will discuss unpublished work from my lab aimed at answering this question. We use simultaneous targeted two-photon optogenetics and cellular-resolution calcium imaging to compare how the premotor (frontal) and primary visual cortices of the mouse sustain brief, focal excitatory input to the networks. I will show that frontal circuits are much more likely to respond to photostimulation, and additionally sustain very focal input much longer than visual circuits, by recruiting local activity sequences. Our findings suggest that stronger recurrent excitation in the frontal cortex may in part underlie longer activity timescales during spontaneous and cognitive behaviors.
