Összefoglaló szövege

Introduction: The medial thalamic influence over frontal cortex (FC) plays important role in many cognitive functions. This network is built-up by parallel thalamocortical routes providing complex computation leading to cognition.
Aims: Recently, by classifying the calretinin-expressing and non-expressing midline thalamic population (CR+/CR- MT) with distinct arousal-related activity (Matyas, Komlosi et al, 2018), we have proposed a view of dichotomy in this network.
Method: Here, we performed cell-type specific anatomical and electrophysiological approaches to dissect the CR+ and CR- thalamocortical (TC) systems. By injecting a Cre-dependent AAVs together with a novel viral construct, which selectively infect Cre-positive and -negative thalamic cells in CR-cre mice, we mapped the topography of these CR+ and CR-TC axons (respectively) with regional-selectivity.
Results: The two population formed a rather non-overlapping cortical innervation. CR+ cells preferentially targeted prelimbic, infralmibic, orbital and insular cortices while CR- ones, cingulate and secondary cortical areas. In addition, their subcortical projections were also distinct in the field of the nucleus accumbens, amygdala, lateral septum, hypothalamus, dorsal striatum, bed nucleus of stria terminalis. Multisite in vivo recordings from frontal and parietal cortices along with thalamic optogenetic activation are designed to compare the cellular (multi-unit activity) as well as network (local field potential) – local and global – effects of CR+ and CR- TC cells.
Conclusion: Our preliminary data shows that the two thalamic population provide qualitatively and quantitatively distinct cortical excitation, propagating differently to the parietal cortical regions. These findings indicate the dual nature of the frontal thalamocortical system which may fulfil different role in cognition.
