Anatomical Organization and Spatiotemporal Firing Patterns of Layer 3 Neurons in the Rat Medial Entorhinal Cortex.
Layer 3 of the medial entorhinal cortex is a major gateway from the neocortex to the hippocampus. Here we addressed structure-function relationships in medial entorhinal cortex layer 3 by combining anatomical analysis with juxtacellular identification of single neurons in freely behaving rats. Anatomically, layer 3 appears as a relatively homogeneous cell sheet. Dual-retrograde neuronal tracing...
متن کاملElectrophysiological and morphological properties of neurons in layer 5 of the rat postrhinal cortex.
The postrhinal (POR) cortex of the rat is homologous to the parahippocampal cortex of the primate based on connections and other criteria. POR provides the major visual and visuospatial input to the hippocampal formation, both directly to CA1 and indirectly through connections with the medial entorhinal cortex. Although the cortical and hippocampal connections of the POR cortex are well describ...
متن کاملMonosynaptic Inputs from Pre- and Parasubiculum Converge on Medial Entorhinal Cortex Principal Neurons
Interactions between the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC), presubiculum (PrS), and parasubiculum (PaS), all essential components of the hippocampalparahippocampal navigational system, are still poorly understood. The PrS and PaS are credited to provide directional information to MEC. Efferents from PrS and PaS show a laminar specific terminal distribution in MEC superficial layers, where they als...
متن کاملLayer III neurons control synchronized waves in the immature cerebral cortex.
Correlated spiking activity prevails in immature cortical networks and is believed to contribute to neuronal circuit maturation; however, its spatiotemporal organization is not fully understood. Using wide-field calcium imaging from acute whole-brain slices of rat pups on postnatal days 1-6, we found that correlated spikes were initiated in the anterior part of the lateral entorhinal cortex and...
متن کاملStructural development and dorsoventral maturation of the medial entorhinal cortex.
We investigated the structural development of superficial-layers of medial entorhinal cortex and parasubiculum in rats. The grid-layout and cholinergic-innervation of calbindin-positive pyramidal-cells in layer-2 emerged around birth while reelin-positive stellate-cells were scattered throughout development. Layer-3 and parasubiculum neurons had a transient calbindin-expression, which declined ...
