Outline for today Structures Cell types Circuitry Function
2
structure c-shaped in coronal or transverse sections
outline resembles rams horn (Ammons horn) dorsal and ventral commissures
4
major components of the hippocampal formation
hippocampal proper (CA1,CA2,CA3) dentate gyrus entorhinal cortex Subiculum Presubiculum parasubiculum
10
How many cell layers are in…
Dentate gyrus Hippocampal proper Entorhinal cortex
11
3 main Layers of DG molecular layer
granule cell layer (striatum granulosum) polymorphic (or hilus)
12
3 main layers of hippocampus
molecular layer (stratum radiatum. stratum lacunosum, moleculare) pyramidal layer – stratum pyramidale polymorphic (stratum oriens)
14
DG cell types diverse variety of interneurons
mossy fibers – axons from DG granule cells – unmyelinated axons – synapse on CA3 only excitatory output from DG but not as simple as reduced interneurons - tissue from patients or models of temporal lobe epilepsy found evidence of normal or enhanced granule cell inhibition. GABAA receptor density is greater in acutely isolated granule cells from epileptic rats compared with controls. In epileptic rats, granule cells had prolonged EPSPs, and they discharged more action potentials than controls.
15
basket cells axons form plexuses surrounding cell body of granule cells GABA
16
cells and layers of the dentate gyrus
1- granule cell; axons (mossy fiber) – collateralize in PL and then to CA3 2- dentate pyramidal basket cell 3 – stellate cells (give rise to basket plexus) 4- mossy cell (GLU) inhibitory cells
17
DG studied in relation to kindling, LTP
DG has the most consistent cell loss in temporal lobe epilepsy – (in part interneurons in the hilus of DG)
18
typical CA1 pyramidal cell
20
some of the connections
mossy fibers – axons from DG granule cells – unmyelinated axons – synapse on CA3 sole excitatory output from DG multiple granule cells can synapse on a single pyramidal cell Schaffer collaterals- projections from CA3 to CA1 (ipsilateral and contralateral)
21
some of the connections
perforant pathway – major input to hippocampus axons arise primariy from layers II and III of EC
22
Entorhinal cortex (perforant path)
Recurrent (Schaffer) collaterals of hippocampal pyramidal cells inCA3 Raphe, septal region Commissural axons; intrinsic short axon cells Basket cells Short axon cells; commissural axons Alveus
23
some more connections alveus - thin layer of fibers originating from pyramidal cells and subiculum; on route to subcortical termination or contralateral hipp covers the ventricular surface of the hippocampus bundle thickens – lateral extreme end of hipp – fimbria; descending into forebrain - fornix.
24
What are the main afferents to hippocampus and DG?
entorhinal cortex*** septum, contralateral hippocampus
25
Cortical inputs to the hippocampal formation
26
What are the afferents to the entorhinal cortex?
projections from brainstem, raphe, LC, VTA, hypothalamic afferents thalamic nuclei telencephalic cortical areas other hippocampal regions
27
Hippocampal Efferents
Many fibers sent directly back to the entorhinal cortex. Most anatomically prominent output pathway is the fornix
28
efferents of EC perforant pathway
amygdala, cortical nuclei, central nucleus,
29
Subcortical outputs via the fornix
30
Cortical projections from hippocampus via entorhinal cortex
33
subiculum one of most important efferents of hippocampal formation – only its axons leave the telencephalon to terminate in the diencephalon
34
fimbria/fornix carry efferent from hippocampal formation and subcortical afferent fibers to hippocampus
35
trisynaptic circuit perforant pathway synapse on granule cells
granule cells send their mossy fiber axons to CA3 CA3 pyramidal cells send their shaffer collateral axons to CA1
38
neurotransmitters? GLU GABA 5HT
perforant path, mossy fibers, Schaffer collaterals, excitatory interneurons NMDA and metabotropic R GABA 5HT
