Accurate spatial localization requires a mechanism that corrects for errors, which might arise from inaccurate sensory information or neuronal noise. In this paper, we propose that Hippocampal place cells might implement such an error correction mechanism by integrating different sources of information in an approximately Bayes-optimal fashion. We compare the predictions of our model with physiological data from rats. Our results suggest that useful predictions regarding the firing fields of pla ...[more]

Project description:Hippocampal place cells are spatially tuned neurons that serve as elements of a 'cognitive map' in the mammalian brain1. To detect the animal's location, place cells are thought to rely upon two interacting mechanisms: sensing the position of the animal relative to familiar landmarks2,3 and measuring the distance and direction that the animal has travelled from previously occupied locations4-7. The latter mechanism-known as path integration-requires a finely tuned gain factor that relates the animal's self-movement to the updating of position on the internal cognitive map, as well as external landmarks to correct the positional error that accumulates8,9. Models of hippocampal place cells and entorhinal grid cells based on path integration treat the path-integration gain as a constant9-14, but behavioural evidence in humans suggests that the gain is modifiable15. Here we show, using physiological evidence from rat hippocampal place cells, that the path-integration gain is a highly plastic variable that can be altered by persistent conflict between self-motion cues and feedback from external landmarks. In an augmented-reality system, visual landmarks were moved in proportion to the movement of a rat on a circular track, creating continuous conflict with path integration. Sustained exposure to this cue conflict resulted in predictable and prolonged recalibration of the path-integration gain, as estimated from the place cells after the landmarks were turned off. We propose that this rapid plasticity keeps the positional update in register with the movement of the rat in the external world over behavioural timescales. These results also demonstrate that visual landmarks not only provide a signal to correct cumulative error in the path-integration system4,8,16-19, but also rapidly fine-tune the integration computation itself.

Project description:SignificanceGoal-directed spatial navigation has been found to rely on hippocampal neurons that are spatially modulated. We show that "nonplace" cells without significant spatial modulation play a role in discriminating goals when environmental cues for goals are ambiguous. This nonplace cell activity is performance-dependent and is modulated by gamma oscillations. Finally, nonplace cell goal discrimination coding fails in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Together, these results show that nonplace cell firing can signal unique task-relevant information when spatial information is ambiguous; these signals depend on performance and are absent in a mouse model of AD.

Project description:The hippocampus and associated cholinergic inputs have important roles in spatial memory in rodents. Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) are involved in the communication of cholinergic signals and regulate spatial memory. They have been found to impact the memory encoding process, but the effect on memory retrieval is controversial. Previous studies report that scopolamine (a non-selective antagonist of mAChR) induces cognitive deficits on animals, resulting in impaired memory encoding, but the effect on memory retrieval is less certain. We tested the effects of blocking mAChRs on hippocampal network activity and neural ensembles that had previously encoded spatial information. The activity of hundreds of neurons in mouse hippocampal CA1 was recorded using calcium imaging with a miniaturised fluorescent microscope and properties of place cells and neuronal ensemble behaviour in a linear track environment were observed. We found that the decoding accuracy and the stability of spatial representation revealed by hippocampal neural ensemble were significantly reduced after the administration of scopolamine. Several other parameters, including neural firing rate, total number of active neurons, place cell number and spatial information content were affected. Similar results were also observed in a simulated hippocampal network model. This study enhances the understanding of the function of mAChRs on spatial memory impairment.

Project description:The relationship between the feature-tuning curve and information transfer profile of individual neurons provides vital insights about neural encoding. However, the relationship between the spatial tuning curve and spatial information transfer of hippocampal place cells remains unexplored. Here, employing a stochastic search procedure spanning thousands of models, we arrived at 127 conductance-based place-cell models that exhibited signature electrophysiological characteristics and sharp spatial tuning, with parametric values that exhibited neither clustering nor strong pairwise correlations. We introduced trial-to-trial variability in responses and computed model tuning curves and information transfer profiles, using stimulus-specific (SSI) and mutual (MI) information metrics, across locations within the place field. We found spatial information transfer to be heterogeneous across models, but to reduce consistently with increasing levels of variability. Importantly, whereas reliable low-variability responses implied that maximal information transfer occurred at high-slope regions of the tuning curve, increase in variability resulted in maximal transfer occurring at the peak-firing location in a subset of models. Moreover, experience-dependent asymmetry in place-field firing introduced asymmetries in the information transfer computed through MI, but not SSI, and the impact of activity-dependent variability on information transfer was minimal compared to activity-independent variability. We unveiled ion-channel degeneracy in the regulation of spatial information transfer, and demonstrated critical roles for N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors, transient potassium and dendritic sodium channels in regulating information transfer. Our results demonstrate that trial-to-trial variability, tuning-curve shape and biological heterogeneities critically regulate the relationship between the spatial tuning curve and spatial information transfer in hippocampal place cells.

Project description:Neural codes have been postulated to build efficient representations of the external world. The hippocampus, an encoding system, employs neuronal firing rates and spike phases to encode external space. Although the biophysical origin of such codes is at a single neuronal level, the role of neural components in efficient coding is not understood. The complexity of this problem lies in the dimensionality of the parametric space encompassing neural components, and is amplified by the enormous biological heterogeneity observed in each parameter. A central question that spans encoding systems therefore is how neurons arrive at efficient codes in the face of widespread biological heterogeneities. To answer this, we developed a conductance-based spiking model for phase precession, a phase code of external space exhibited by hippocampal place cells. Our model accounted for several experimental observations on place cell firing and electrophysiology: the emergence of phase precession from exact spike timings of conductance-based models with neuron-specific ion channels and receptors; biological heterogeneities in neural components and excitability; the emergence of subthreshold voltage ramp, increased firing rate, enhanced theta power within the place field; a signature reduction in extracellular theta frequency compared to its intracellular counterpart; and experience-dependent asymmetry in firing-rate profile. We formulated phase-coding efficiency, using Shannon's information theory, as an information maximization problem with spike phase as the response and external space within a single place field as the stimulus. We employed an unbiased stochastic search spanning an 11-dimensional neural space, involving thousands of iterations that accounted for the biophysical richness and neuron-to-neuron heterogeneities. We found a small subset of models that exhibited efficient spatial information transfer through the phase code, and investigated the distinguishing features of this subpopulation at the parametric and functional scales. At the parametric scale, which spans the molecular components that defined the neuron, several nonunique parametric combinations with weak pairwise correlations yielded models with similar high phase-coding efficiency. Importantly, placing additional constraints on these models in terms of matching other aspects of hippocampal neural responses did not hamper parametric degeneracy. We provide quantitative evidence demonstrating this parametric degeneracy to be a consequence of a many-to-one relationship between the different parameters and phase-coding efficiency. At the functional scale, involving the cellular-scale neural properties, our analyses revealed an important higher-order constraint that was exclusive to models exhibiting efficient phase coding. Specifically, we found a counterbalancing negative correlation between neuronal gain and the strength of external synaptic inputs as a critical functional constraint for the emergence of efficient phase coding. These observations implicate intrinsic neural properties as important contributors in effectuating such counterbalance, which can be achieved by recruiting nonunique parametric combinations. Finally, we show that a change in afferent statistics, manifesting as input asymmetry onto these neuronal models, induced an adaptive shift in the phase code that preserved its efficiency. Together, our analyses unveil parametric degeneracy as a mechanism to harness widespread neuron-to-neuron heterogeneity towards accomplishing stable and efficient encoding, provided specific higher-order functional constraints on the relationship of neural gain to external inputs are satisfied.

Project description:The cognitive map is often assumed to be a Euclidean map that isometrically represents the real world (i.e., the Euclidean distance between any two locations in the physical world should be preserved on the cognitive map). However, accumulating evidence suggests that environmental boundaries can distort the mental representations of physical space. For example, the distance between two locations can be remembered as longer than the true physical distance if the locations are separated by a boundary. While this overestimation is observed under different experimental conditions, even when the boundary is formed by flat surface cues, its physiological basis is not well understood. We examined the neural representation of flat surface cue boundaries, and of the space segregated by these boundaries, by recording place cell activity from CA1 and CA3 while rats foraged on a circular track or square platforms with inhomogeneous surface textures. About 40% of the place field edges concentrated near the boundaries on the circular track (significantly above the chance level 33%). Similarly, place field edges were more prevalent near boundaries on the platforms than expected by chance. In both one- and two-dimensional environments, the population vectors of place cell activity changed more abruptly with distance between locations that crossed cue boundaries than between locations within a bounded region. These results show that the locations of surface boundaries were evident as enhanced decorrelations of the neural representations of locations to either side of the boundaries. This enhancement might underlie the cognitive phenomenon of overestimation of distances across boundaries.

Project description:Summary Physical exercise is known to augment brain functioning, improving memory and cognition. However, while some of the physiological effects of physical activity on the brain are known, little is known about its effects on the neural code. Using calcium imaging in freely behaving mice, we study how voluntary exercise affects the quality and long-term stability of hippocampal place codes. We find that running accelerates the emergence of a more informative spatial code in novel environments and increases code stability over days and weeks. Paradoxically, although runners demonstrated an overall more stable place code than their sedentary peers, their place code changed faster when controlling for code quality level. A model-based simulation shows that the combination of improved code quality and faster representational drift in runners, but neither of these effects alone, could account for our results. Thus, exercise may enhance hippocampal function via a more informative and dynamic place code. Graphical abstract Highlights • Ca2+ imaging in behaving mice allows studying how exercise affects hippocampal codes• Voluntary physical exercise increases information content in hippocampal neurons• Runners exhibit faster changes in spatial codes if code quality levels are considered• Results favor the “memory resolution” over the “pattern separation” hypothesis Rechavi et al. study how physical exercise affects neural coding underlying spatial cognition using longitudinal calcium imaging in the hippocampus of mice as they explore the same environments over weeks. Exercise supports the emergence of a more informative spatial code in novel environments and accelerates code dynamics over days.

Project description:Place cells in the hippocampus and grid cells in the medial entorhinal cortex rely on self-motion information and path integration for spatially confined firing. Place cells can be observed in young rats as soon as they leave their nest at around 2.5 wk of postnatal life. In contrast, the regularly spaced firing of grid cells develops only after weaning, during the fourth week. In the present study, we sought to determine whether place cells are able to integrate self-motion information before maturation of the grid-cell system. Place cells were recorded on a 200-cm linear track while preweaning, postweaning, and adult rats ran on successive trials from a start wall to a box at the end of a linear track. The position of the start wall was altered in the middle of the trial sequence. When recordings were made in complete darkness, place cells maintained fields at a fixed distance from the start wall regardless of the age of the animal. When lights were on, place fields were determined primarily by external landmarks, except at the very beginning of the track. This shift was observed in both young and adult animals. The results suggest that preweaning rats are able to calculate distances based on information from self-motion before the grid-cell system has matured to its full extent.

Project description:Default network regions appear to integrate information over time windows of 30 s or more during narrative listening. Does this long-timescale capability require the hippocampus? Amnesic behavior suggests that regions other than the hippocampus can independently support some online processing when input is continuous and semantically rich: amnesics can participate in conversations and tell stories spanning minutes, and when tested immediately on recently heard prose they are able to retain some information. We hypothesized that default network regions can integrate the semantically coherent information of a narrative across long time windows, even in the absence of an intact hippocampus. To test this prediction, we measured BOLD activity in the brain of a hippocampal amnesic patient (D.A.) and healthy control participants while they listened to a 7 min narrative. The narrative was played either in its intact form, or as a paragraph-scrambled version, which has been previously shown to interfere with the long-range temporal dependencies in default network activity. In the intact story condition, D.A.'s moment-by-moment BOLD activity spatial patterns were similar to those of controls in low-level auditory cortex as well as in some high-level default network regions (including lateral and medial posterior parietal cortex). Moreover, as in controls, D.A.'s response patterns in medial and lateral posterior parietal cortex were disrupted when paragraphs of the story were presented in a shuffled order, suggesting that activity in these areas did depend on information from 30 s or more in the past. Together, these results suggest that some default network cortical areas can integrate information across long timescales, even when the hippocampus is severely damaged.

Project description:Hippocampal place cells encode spatial information in rate and temporal codes. To examine the mechanisms underlying hippocampal coding, here we measured the intracellular dynamics of place cells by combining in vivo whole-cell recordings with a virtual-reality system. Head-restrained mice, running on a spherical treadmill, interacted with a computer-generated visual environment to perform spatial behaviours. Robust place-cell activity was present during movement along a virtual linear track. From whole-cell recordings, we identified three subthreshold signatures of place fields: an asymmetric ramp-like depolarization of the baseline membrane potential, an increase in the amplitude of intracellular theta oscillations, and a phase precession of the intracellular theta oscillation relative to the extracellularly recorded theta rhythm. These intracellular dynamics underlie the primary features of place-cell rate and temporal codes. The virtual-reality system developed here will enable new experimental approaches to study the neural circuits underlying navigation.
