abstract = {Spatial navigation is an essential behavior for all moving
life-forms. A main mammalian brain structure implicated in
this process is the hippocampal formation. Neuronal firing
patterns in this brain region are remarkably correlated to
various aspects of the animal’s location and navigation.
The subiculum is a primary output structure of hippocampal
information processing, providing output to various cortical
and subcortical areas. With this crucial position within the
hippocampal formation, the primary role of the subiculum is
to integrate, compress and then distribute
hippocampally-processed information to the whole brain. Two
major inputs to the subiculum arise from the CA1 region and
the entorhinal cortex. This study investigates the
individual roles of these two input streams in generating
spatially correlated firing of subicular neurons.In vivo
whole cell patch clamp recordings in mice running freely on
a circular track revealed that dorsal subicular neurons
receive spatially tuned input. Additionally, channelrodopsin
assisted circuit mapping showed, that the two major input
streams target specific regions in the dendritic tree of
dorsal subicular neurons. Specifically, CA1 input is located
more proximal, while EC input forms synapses in the distal
part of the dendritic tree of dorsal subicular neurons.
Finally, individual contributions of both input streams on
the spatial tuning of dorsal subicular neurons were
investigated using two-photon calcium imaging in mice
running on a linear treadmill. Chemogenetic inactivation of
either CA1 or entorhinal cortex inputs via viral
transduction of the inhibitory DREADD and local application
of CNO by a small hole in the imaging window, revealed
district contributions of both inputs paths: CA1 inputs are
necessary for the place and velocity tuning, while EC inputs
are only necessary for the place tuning of dorsal subicular
neurons.Taken together my experiments demonstrate that (I)
subicular neurons receive spatial and velocity tuned input
(II), that subicular neurons maintain a functional input
segregation between CA1 and entorhinal cortex synapses and
(III) that both input streams play differential roles in
shaping the spatial tunings of subicular neurons with
respect to place and movement speed. This study emphasizes
the need to differentiate between the information that one
brain region could potentially receive from other brain
regions and the information that is actually used by the
postsynaptic neuron during their input-output
transformation.},
