Abstract
- Septal parvalbumin-expressing (PV+) and calbindin-expressing (CB+) projections inhibit low-threshold and fast-spiking interneurons, respectively, in the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC). We investigate how the two inputs control neuronal activity in the MEC in freely moving mice. Stimulation of PV+and CB+terminals causes disinhibition of spatially tuned MEC neurons, but exerts differential effects on temporal coding and burst firing. Thus, recruitment of PV+projections disrupts theta-rhythmic firing of MEC neurons, while stimulation of CB+projections increases burst firing of grid cells and enhances phase precession in a cell-type-specific manner. Inactivation of septal PV+or CB+neurons differentially affects context, reference, and working memory. Together, our results reveal how specific connectivity of septal GABAergic projections with MEC interneurons translates into differential modulation of MEC neuronal coding.
