Segregated basal ganglia output pathways correspond to genetically divergent neuronal subclasses I

ABSTRACT: The basal ganglia control multiple sensorimotor behaviors though anatomically segregated and topographically organized subcircuits with outputs to specific downstream circuits. However, it is unclear how the anatomical organization of basal ganglia output circuits relates to the molecular diversity of cell types. Here, we demonstrate that the major output nucleus of the basal ganglia, the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) is comprised of transcriptomically distinct subclasses that reflect its distinct progenitor lineages. We show that these subclasses are topographically organized within SNr, project to distinct targets in the midbrain and hindbrain, and receive inputs from different striatal subregions. Finally, we show that these mouse subclasses are also identifiable in human SNr neurons, suggesting that the genetic organization of SNr is evolutionarily conserved. These findings provide a unifying logic for how the developmental specification of diverse SNr neurons relates to the anatomical organization of basal ganglia circuits controlling specialized downstream brain regions.

Transcriptomes of individual substantia nigra pars reticulata neurons

Project description:Certain neuron types fire spontaneously at high rates, an ability that is crucial for their function in brain circuits. The spontaneously active GABAergic neurons of the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr), a major output of the basal ganglia, provide tonic inhibition of downstream brain areas. A depolarizing "leak" current supports this firing pattern, but its molecular basis remains poorly understood. To understand how SNr neurons maintain tonic activity, we used single-cell RNA sequencing to determine the transcriptome of individual SNr neurons. We discovered that SNr neurons express the sodium leak current, NaLCN and that SNr neurons lacking NaLCN have impaired spontaneous firing.

Molecular and anatomical organization of the dorsal raphe nucleus

Project description:The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) is an important source of neuromodulators and has been implicated in a wide variety of behavioral and neurological disorders. The DRN is subdivided into distinct anatomical subregions comprised of multiple cell types, and its complex cellular organization has impeded efforts to investigate the distinct circuit and behavioral functions of its subdomains. Here we used single-cell RNA sequencing, in situ hybridization, anatomical tracing, and spatial correlation analysis to map the transcriptional and spatial profiles of cells from the mouse DRN. Our analysis of 39,411 single-cell transcriptomes revealed at least 18 distinct neuron subtypes and 5 serotonergic neuron subtypes with distinct molecular and anatomical properties, including a serotonergic neuron subtype that preferentially innervates the basal ganglia. Our study lays out the molecular organization of distinct serotonergic and non-serotonergic subsystems, and will facilitate the design of strategies for further dissection the DRN and its diverse functions.

Functional Identification of Specialized Basal Ganglia Circuits that Regulate Vocal Motor Sequences

Project description:Production of learned vocalizations requires precise selection and accurate sequencing of appropriate vocal-motor actions. The basal ganglia are essential for the selection and sequencing of motor actions, but the cellular specializations and circuit mechanisms governing accurate sequencing of vocalizations are unknown. Here, we use single-nucleus RNA sequencing and genetic manipulations to map basal ganglia cell types and circuits involved in the production of songbird vocal sequences. We identify cell-type specializations in direct-like and indirect-like basal ganglia pathways, including evolutionary expansion of striatal and arkypallidal cell-types that could facilitate vocal sequencing. We also reversibly reduced the expression of FoxP2 with a viral knockdown. For birds in which FoxP2 was knocked down, striatal neurons exhibited decreased expression of Drd1 and showed an increased ratio of Drd2/Drd1 expression. These findings identify key evolutionary specializations and circuits essential for selection and sequencing of vocal-motor actions necessary for vocal communication.

Transcriptional and anatomical diversity of medium spiny neurons in the primate striatum.

Project description:The striatum is the interface between dopamine reward signals and cortico-basal ganglia circuits that mediate diverse behavioral functions. Medium spiny neurons (MSNs) constitute the vast majority of striatal neurons and are traditionally classified as direct- or indirect-pathway neurons. However, that traditional model does not explain the anatomical and functional diversity of MSNs. Here, we defined molecularly distinct MSN types in the primate striatum, including (1) dorsal striatum MSN types associated with striosome and matrix compartments, (2) ventral striatum types associated with the nucleus accumbens shell and olfactory tubercle, and (3) an MSN-like type restricted to mu-opioid receptor rich islands in the ventral striatum. These results lay the foundation for achieving cell type-specific transgenesis in the primate striatum and provide a blueprint for investigating circuit-specific processing.

Gene expression profiles of sorted D1- and D2-expressing cells in mouse ventral hippocampus

Project description:The hippocampus, as well as dopamine circuits, coordinate decision-making in anxiety-eliciting situations. Yet, little is known about how dopamine modulates hippocampal representations of emotionally-salient stimuli to inform appropriate resolution of approach versus avoidance conflicts. We here study dopaminoceptive neurons in mouse ventral hippocampus (vHipp), molecularly distinguished by their expression of dopamine D1 or D2 receptors. We show that these neurons are transcriptionally distinct and topographically organized across vHipp subfields and cell types. While both D1 and D2 vHipp neurons are recruited during anxiogenic exploration, they mediate opposite approach/avoidance responses, and are differentially modulated by dopaminergic transmission. We propose that vHipp dopamine dynamics operate as a feedback loop to gate exploratory behaviors, implicating dopaminoception in the complex computation engaged in vHipp to govern emotional states.
