--- _id: '10110' abstract: - lang: eng text: Pattern separation is a fundamental brain computation that converts small differences in input patterns into large differences in output patterns. Several synaptic mechanisms of pattern separation have been proposed, including code expansion, inhibition and plasticity; however, which of these mechanisms play a role in the entorhinal cortex (EC)–dentate gyrus (DG)–CA3 circuit, a classical pattern separation circuit, remains unclear. Here we show that a biologically realistic, full-scale EC–DG–CA3 circuit model, including granule cells (GCs) and parvalbumin-positive inhibitory interneurons (PV+-INs) in the DG, is an efficient pattern separator. Both external gamma-modulated inhibition and internal lateral inhibition mediated by PV+-INs substantially contributed to pattern separation. Both local connectivity and fast signaling at GC–PV+-IN synapses were important for maximum effectiveness. Similarly, mossy fiber synapses with conditional detonator properties contributed to pattern separation. By contrast, perforant path synapses with Hebbian synaptic plasticity and direct EC–CA3 connection shifted the network towards pattern completion. Our results demonstrate that the specific properties of cells and synapses optimize higher-order computations in biological networks and might be useful to improve the deep learning capabilities of technical networks. author: - first_name: José full_name: Guzmán, José id: 30CC5506-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Guzmán orcid: 0000-0003-2209-5242 - first_name: Alois full_name: Schlögl, Alois id: 45BF87EE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Schlögl orcid: 0000-0002-5621-8100 - first_name: 'Claudia ' full_name: 'Espinoza Martinez, Claudia ' id: 31FFEE2E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Espinoza Martinez orcid: 0000-0003-4710-2082 - first_name: Xiaomin full_name: Zhang, Xiaomin id: 423EC9C2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Zhang - first_name: Benjamin full_name: Suter, Benjamin id: 4952F31E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Suter orcid: 0000-0002-9885-6936 - first_name: Peter M full_name: Jonas, Peter M id: 353C1B58-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Jonas orcid: 0000-0001-5001-4804 citation: ama: Guzmán J, Schlögl A, Espinoza Martinez C, Zhang X, Suter B, Jonas PM.

Activation of GBRs facilitates or inhibits transmitter release from MHb terminals depending on the IPN subnucleus, but the role of KCTDs is unknown. We therefore examined the localization and function of Cav2.3, GBRs, and KCTDs in this pathway in mice. We show in heterologous cells that KCTD8 and KCTD12b directly bind to Cav2.3 and that KCTD8 potentiates Cav2.3 currents in the absence of GBRs. In the rostral IPN, KCTD8, KCTD12b, and Cav2.3 co-localize at the presynaptic active zone. Genetic deletion indicated a bidirectional modulation of Cav2.3-mediated release by these KCTDs with a compensatory increase of KCTD8 in the active zone in KCTD12b-deficient mice. The interaction of Cav2.3 with KCTDs therefore scales synaptic strength independent of GBR activation. acknowledgement: We are grateful to Akari Hagiwara and Toshihisa Ohtsuka for CAST antibody, and Masahiko Watanabe for neurexin antibody.

Although PTP has a uniquely large magnitude at hippocampal mossy fiber-CA3 pyramidal neuron synapses, it is unclear whether it can be induced by natural activity and whether its lifetime is sufficient to support short-term memory. We combined in vivo recordings from granule cells (GCs), in vitro paired recordings from mossy fiber terminals and postsynaptic CA3 neurons, and “flash and freeze” electron microscopy. PTP was induced at single synapses and showed a low induction threshold adapted to sparse GC activity in vivo. PTP was mainly generated by enlargement of the readily releasable pool of synaptic vesicles, allowing multiplicative interaction with other plasticity forms. PTP was associated with an increase in the docked vesicle pool, suggesting formation of structural “pool engrams.” Absence of presynaptic activity extended the lifetime of the potentiation, enabling prolonged information storage in the hippocampal network. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: SSU acknowledgement: This project received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Program (grant agreement 692692 to P.J.) and the Fond zur Förderung der Wissenschaftlichen Forschung ( Z 312-B27 , Wittgenstein award to P.J. and V 739-B27 to C.B.-M.).

To examine the role of GCs in spatial coding, we measured excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) and action potentials (APs) in head-fixed mice running on a linear belt. Intracellular recording from morphologically identified GCs revealed that most cells were active, but activity level varied over a wide range. Whereas only ∼5% of GCs showed spatially tuned spiking, ∼50% received spatially tuned input. Thus, the GC population broadly encodes spatial information, but only a subset relays this information to the CA3 network. Fourier analysis indicated that GCs received conjunctive place-grid-like synaptic input, suggesting code conversion in single neurons. GC firing was correlated with dendritic complexity and intrinsic excitability, but not extrinsic excitatory input or dendritic cable properties. Thus, functional maturation may control input-output transformation and spatial code conversion. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: M-Shop - _id: ScienComp - _id: PreCl acknowledgement: This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program (grant agreement 692692, P.J.) and the Fond zur Förderung der Wissenschaftlichen Forschung (Z 312-B27, Wittgenstein award, P.J.).

Electrophysiology has elucidated mechanisms of synaptic transmission, and electron microscopy (EM) has provided insight into morphological properties of synapses. Here we describe an enhanced method for functional EM (“flash and freeze”), combining optogenetic stimulation with high-pressure freezing. We demonstrate that the improved method can be applied to intact networks in acute brain slices and organotypic slice cultures from mice. As a proof of concept, we probed vesicle pool changes during synaptic transmission at the hippocampal mossy fiber-CA3 pyramidal neuron synapse. Our findings show overlap of the docked vesicle pool and the functionally defined readily releasable pool and provide evidence of fast endocytosis at this synapse. Functional EM with acute slices and slice cultures has the potential to reveal the structural and functional mechanisms of transmission in intact, genetically perturbed, and disease-affected synapses. acknowledgement: This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) and European Commission (EC), under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (ERC grant agreement No. 692692 and Marie Sklodowska-Curie 708497) and from Fonds zur Förderung der Wissenschaftlichen Forschung (Z 312-B27 Wittgenstein award and DK W1205-B09).
