We are developing these new viral tracers as brain mapping tools, which we plan to share through our center for use by the neuroscience community.' 'Our study was made possible by the new viral genetic tools developed by our CNCM investigators at UCI. 'The emergence of viral-genetic mapping techniques enhances our ability to determine the detailed complexity of brain circuity,' Xu said. They also found that genetic inactivation of the CA1 to CA3 projection impaired object-related spatial learning and memory, but did not modulate anxiety-related behaviors. Robust mapping results showed that CA1 inputs to CA3 run opposite the trisynaptic pathway and in a temporal to septal direction. 'The new hippocampal circuit mechanism is highly relevant to treating learning and memory disorders, including Alzheimer's disease.'Р”В«uilding on their earlier work, Xu and his team used multiple viral tracers, including monosynaptic rabies retrograde tracing and herpes (H129)-based anterograde tracing to establish new hippocampal CA1 projections to CA3. 'Our findings extend the knowledge of hippocampal connectivity and its relation to learning and memory processes across the septotemporal axis and provide a circuit foundation to explore these novel functional roles,' said Xiangmin Xu, PhD, Chancellor's Fellow and professor of anatomy and neurobiology, and director for the Center for Neural Circuit Mapping (CNCM) at the UCI School of Medicine. The trisynaptic's feedforward, unidirectional circuit organization is well documented, but the connectivity across septal to temporal regions is less well described. The septotemporal axis, along which the trisynaptic pathway is located, separates the dorsal region of the hippocampus, which is more involved in learning, memory and spatial navigation, and the ventral region, which plays a role in emotional behavior. The hippocampus is not a homogenous brain area. Ventriculus III.The study, titled 'Non-canonical projections to the hippocampal CA3 regulate spatial learning and memory by modulating the feedforward hippocampal trisynaptic pathway,' was published today in PLOS Biology.
