Septo-hippocampal GABAergic signaling across multiple modalities in awake mice

Nat Neurosci. 2013 Sep;16(9):1182-4. doi: 10.1038/nn.3482. Epub 2013 Aug 4.

Abstract

Hippocampal interneurons receive GABAergic input from the medial septum. Using two-photon Ca(2+) imaging of axonal boutons in hippocampal CA1 of behaving mice, we found that populations of septo-hippocampal GABAergic boutons were activated during locomotion and salient sensory events; sensory responses scaled with stimulus intensity and were abolished by anesthesia. We found similar activity patterns among boutons with common putative postsynaptic targets, with low-dimensional bouton population dynamics being driven primarily by presynaptic spiking.
