项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Throughout the hippocampus, pyramidal cells integrate excitatory and inhibitory inputs from a diverse population of interneurons. These cells provide feedforward and feedback inhibition onto CA1 pyramidal cells, and can be recruited via glutamate spillover, a phenomenon that describes non-synaptic actions of glutamate diffusing away from the synaptic cleft. The current prevailing view is that glutamate spillover leads to activation of presynaptic group III metabotropic (mGluRIII) glutamate receptors, which inhibit synaptic excitation and inhibition only onto interneurons, not CA1 pyramidal cells. Against this interpretation, our preliminary data indicates that spillover activation of mGluRIII receptors also exists at inhibitory synapses formed onto CA1 pyramidal cells. The main goals in this application are: (i) to determine how mGluRIII activation via glutamate spillover varies between excitatory and inhibitory inputs, and among inhibitory inputs formed by different classes of interneurons; (ii) to identify the intracellular signaling mechanisms that couple mGluRIII activation to neurotransmitter release; (iii) the determine the sub-cellular location of different type of mGluRIII receptors at different types of inhibitory synapses onto CA1 pyramidal cells; (iv) to determine how spillover activation of mGluRIII alters encoding of spatial information by hippocampal CA1 place cells in vivo. The proposed experiments capitalize on in vitro and in vivo electrophysiology, and EM approaches. These findings will generate new information on the operating principles of neuronal circuits involved in spatial map representation and will contribute to the future development of effective strategies to treat disease states associated with hippocampal neural circuit dysfunction, like epilepsy and autism spectrum disorder.

项目摘要在整个海马中，锥体细胞整合了来自多样的兴奋性和抑制性输入中间神经元的人口。这些细胞向CA1锥体细胞提供喂养和反馈抑制，并且可以通过谷氨酸溢出物来招募，这种现象描述了谷氨酸的非突触作用从突触裂隙中扩散。当前的现行视图是谷氨酸溢出导致激活突触前III组代谢型（mgluriii）谷氨酸受体，该受体抑制突触激发和仅抑制对中间神经元，而不抑制CA1锥体细胞。反对这种解释，我们的初步数据表明Mgluriii受体的溢出激活也存在于在CA1上形成的抑制性突触处锥体细胞。该应用程序的主要目标是：（i）确定Mgluriii如何通过谷氨酸激活兴奋性和抑制投入之间的溢出以及不同类别形成的抑制性输入之间有所不同中间神经元；（ii）确定将mgluriii激活逐渐激活的细胞内信号传导机制神经递质释放；（iii）确定不同类型的mgluriii受体的亚细胞位置在CA1锥体细胞上的不同类型的抑制突触；（iv）确定如何激活 mgluriii改变了海马CA1将细胞放置在体内的空间信息的编码。提议实验资本利用体外和体内电生理学，以及EM方法。这些发现将产生有关空间图表示涉及的神经元电路操作原理的新信息，并将有助于未来发展与海马相关的疾病状态的有效策略神经回路功能障碍，例如癫痫和自闭症谱系障碍。
