Abstract Orientation in space is represented specialized brain circuits. Persistent head direction signals are transmitted from anterior thalamus to the presubiculum, but identity of presubicular target neurons, their connectivity and function local microcircuits unknown. Here, we examine how thalamic afferents recruit principal neurons Martinotti interneurons, ensuing synaptic interactions between these cells. Pyramidal neuron activation cells superficial layers strongly facilitating such...

The presubiculum contains head direction cells that are crucial for spatial orientation. Here, we examined the connectivity and strengths of thalamic inputs to presubicular layer 3 neurons projecting medial entorhinal cortex in mouse. We recorded pairs projection interneurons while optogenetically stimulating afferent fibers from anterior nuclei. Thalamic input differentially affects neurons: pyramidal fast-spiking parvalbumin-expressing directly monosynaptically activated, with depressing...

The presubiculum (PrS) is part of an interconnected network distributed brain regions where individual neurons signal the animals heading direction. PrS sends axons to medial entorhinal cortex (MEC), it reciprocally connected with anterior thalamic nuclei (ATNs), and feedback projections lateral mammillary nucleus (LMN), involved in generating head direction signal. intrinsic properties projecting will influence pathway-specific transmission activity. Here, we used projection-specific...

Summary Head-direction (HD) signals function as the brain’s internal compass. They are organized an attractor, and anchor to environment via visual landmarks. Here we examine how thalamic HD landmark information from retrosplenial cortex combine in presubiculum. We find that monosynaptic excitatory connections anterior nucleus converge on single layer 3 pyramidal neurons dorsal portion of mouse Independent dual wavelength photostimulation these inputs slices leads action potential generation...

Oligodendrocytes form myelin for central nervous system axons and release factors which signal to neurons during myelination. Here, we ask how oligodendroglial influence hippocampal GABAergic neuron physiology. In mixed cultures, fired action potentials (APs) of short duration received high frequencies excitatory synaptic events. purified neuronal cultures without glial cells, excitability increased the frequency events decreased. These effects were largely reversed by adding oligodendrocyte...

Les géosynthétiques bentonitiques (GSB) sont souvent utilisés pour la réalisation de barrières étanches. Afin mesurer les débits traversant un GSB et, en particulier, dans zones recouvrement, nouvel appareillage a été développé au laboratoire URGC-Géotechnique l’INSA Lyon. Après avoir présenté résultats d’un essai recouvrement réalisé avec différentes conditions confinement et charge hydraulique, nous montrons l’intérêt simulation numérique compréhension tel écoulement, détermination...
