项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Sensory-guided movements of the arms and hands are essential for many activities of daily living. Pathological processes that impair the cortical circuits mediating these behaviors are a common cause of disability. To better understand and treat these disorders, it will be important to understand the cellular mechanisms in these circuits. Our progress in the previous grant period has helped to elucidate many aspects of the circuit organization of primary motor cortex (M1) neurons in the forelimb area of mouse neocortex. However, a fundamental question remains poorly understood: how are forelimb M1 neurons integrated into functional synaptic circuits with the cells and circuits of primary somatosensory cortex (S1)? This is important to determine, because while the critical importance of somatosensation in controlling movements is well established, the circuits mediating sensorimotor integration in this system are not well characterized. Our working hypothesis is that the forelimb S1—M1 circuit is configured by the cell-type-specific connections of its cortical and thalamic projection neurons to support feedforward somatosensory→motor signaling along complex yet highly specific polysynaptic pathways, leading to excitation of corticospinal neurons. Defining the cellular components of this transcortical loop would be a major step toward elucidating how tactile information is communicated to and integrated by motor cortex neurons to influence cortical output to the spinal cord, in the service of fluid volitional forelimb movements. We propose a research program to test a series of predictions about the cellular organization of the forelimb S1—M1 circuit. The overall aim is to determine the cellular basis for key long-range excitatory circuit connections that mediate communication between forelimb S1 and M1, and between these areas and somatosensory and motor nuclei in the thalamus, particularly the ventral posterior, posterior, and ventrolateral nuclei. To this end, in vivo labeling and ex vivo optogenetic- electrophysiological methods will be used to systematically delineate the cell-type-specific connections mediating thalamus→cortex (Aim 1), cortex→thalamus (Aim 2), and cortex→cortex (Aim 3) communication in this sensorimotor circuit. Overall, the proposed research program is significant and innovative, we believe, because it will generate basic new information about the cellular/synaptic mechanisms underlying the somatosensory→motor transformations at the level of cell-type-specific circuits of the neocortex and thalamus, and thus about the mechanistic basis for sensorimotor functions of the forelimb.

项目概要手臂和手的感官引导运动对于许多日常生活活动至关重要。病理性的损害介导这些行为的皮质回路的过程是残疾的常见原因。到为了更好地理解和治疗这些疾病，了解这些疾病的细胞机制非常重要电路。我们在上一个资助期间取得的进展有助于阐明电路的许多方面小鼠新皮质前肢区域初级运动皮质（M1）神经元的组织。然而，一个基本问题仍然知之甚少：前肢 M1 神经元如何整合到功能中突触回路与初级体感皮层（S1）的细胞和回路？这很重要确定，因为虽然体感在控制运动中至关重要虽然已经确定，但该系统中介导感觉运动整合的电路尚未得到很好的表征。我们的工作假设是前肢 S1—M1 电路是由其细胞类型特定的连接配置的皮质和丘脑投射神经元支持前馈体感→运动信号传导复杂但高度特异性的多突触通路，导致皮质脊髓神经元的兴奋。定义这种跨皮质环路的细胞成分将是阐明触觉信息如何传递的重要一步与运动皮层神经元通讯并整合，以影响皮层对脊髓的输出，流畅的前肢意志运动的服务。我们提出了一个研究计划来测试一系列关于前肢 S1-M1 回路细胞组织的预测。总体目标是确定介导前肢之间通信的关键远程兴奋性电路连接的细胞基础 S1 和 M1，以及这些区域与丘脑中的体感和运动核之间，特别是腹后核、后核和腹外侧核。为此，体内标记和离体光遗传学- 将使用电生理学方法系统地描绘细胞类型特异性连接介导丘脑→皮质（目标 1）、皮质→丘脑（目标 2）和皮质→皮质（目标 3）的沟通这个感觉运动电路。总体而言，拟议的研究计划意义重大且具有创新性，我们相信，因为它将生成有关细胞/突触机制的基本新信息新皮质和丘脑细胞类型特异性回路水平的体感→运动转换，从而了解前肢感觉运动功能的机械基础。
