项目摘要

Abstract The entorhinal cortex (EC) and the hippocampus are the brain areas which are critically involved in the formation and retrieval of declarative memory, and damage to this circuit results in memory impairment. In order to cure dementias, including Alzheimer’s disease, which currently affects 5 million people in the United States, it is critical to forward an understanding of the cellular and circuit mechanisms involved in the encoding and retrieval of memory in this entorhinal-hippocampal circuit. The EC is anatomically segregated into two halves, the lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC), and the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC). Although previous studies have significantly advanced our understanding of the functional role of the MEC in spatial memory and navigation, our understanding of the functions of the LEC remain largely unclear. Here we propose studies to investigate the function of the LEC in the associative memory to address this critical gap in knowledge. Our approach involves multi-faceted analytical methods including in vivo electrophysiology, associative learning tasks, optogenetic circuit analysis methods, optical imaging and transgenic mouse lines that express Cre mice under the promoter of cell-type-specific markers. There are three Specific Aims to the studies: (Aim 1) identify functional roles of LEC layer II cell types in associative learning; (Aim 2) identify the role of LEC dopamine input in associative learning; and (Aim 3) determine the causal role of LEC 20-40Hz oscillations in associative learning. If successful, our studies will identify the circuit mechanisms for associative memory formation in the LEC and will help establish new frameworks for understanding how the entorhinal-hippocampal circuit enables the formation of declarative memory via the integration of multiple dimensions of sensory information.

摘要内嗅皮层(EC)和海马体是大脑中与形成密切相关的区域。以及对陈述性记忆的提取，而对该电路的破坏会导致记忆损伤。为了治愈痴呆症，包括阿尔茨海默病，目前在美国影响着500万人，它是至关重要的以促进对编码和检索所涉及的细胞和电路机制的理解在这个内嗅觉-海马体回路中的记忆。EC在解剖学上被分成两半，即外侧内嗅皮层(LEC)和内侧内嗅皮层(MEC)。尽管之前的研究表明加深了我们对MEC在空间记忆和导航中的功能作用的理解，我们的对LEC功能的理解在很大程度上仍然不清楚。在这里，我们建议进行研究，以调查 LEC在联想存储器中的功能，以解决知识中的这一关键差距。我们的方法包括多方面的分析方法，包括活体电生理学、联想学习任务、光遗传学电路分析方法、光学成像和在启动子下表达Cre小鼠的转基因小鼠品系细胞类型特定的标记。这些研究有三个具体目标：(目标1)确定 LEC II层细胞类型在联想学习中的作用；(目标2)确定LEC多巴胺输入在联想学习中的作用以及(目标3)确定LEC 20-40赫兹振荡在联想学习中的因果作用。如果成功，我们的研究将确定LEC中联想记忆形成的电路机制，并将有助于建立新的框架，以了解内嗅觉-海马体回路如何使通过整合多个维度的感觉信息实现的陈述性记忆。
