Non-reciprocal callosal projections and input gradients underlie interhemispheric communication in binocular visual cortex

ABSTRACT: How the brain combines information received independently by the two hemispheres is not fully understood. Here we describe a non-reciprocal circuit for interhemispheric communication in mouse binocular visual cortex via anatomically segregated neuronal populations. Callosal projecting neurons (CPNs) received only weak or no callosal input, whereas callosal receiving neurons (CRNs) made only weak or no callosal projections. Both populations received direct input from the thalamus. At the cellular level, CRNs had reduced excitability compared to non-CRNs (putative CPNs) due to elevated Kv1 potassium channel expression (encoded by the KCNA2 gene), with excitability of CRNs correlated with the magnitude of callosal input. Functionally, CRNs were predominately binocular, with binocularity correlated with callosal input, whereas non-CRNs (putative CPNs) were predominately monocular. In summary, we find that non-reciprocal callosal projections between CPNs and CRNs together with differences in excitability shaped by callosal input underlie interhemispheric communication in binocular visual cortex.

Expression data from mouse cerebral cortex

Project description:Cerebral cortex consists of many functional areas that are interconnected via direct axon projections from long association neurons. Long association neurons are located in layers 2/3, 5, and 6b. These neurons are intermingled with callosal neurons, which connect both cerebral hemisphere, in layers 2/3 and 5. To We used microarrays to compare gene expression profiles of long association neurons and callosal neurons in order to understand genetic programs that specifies these neuronal subtypes.

Gene expression analysis of WT vs Wdr47 deficient primary neurons

Project description:Corpus callosum (CC) is the largest interhemispheric connection that is largely formed by the axons of layer 2/3 callosal projection neurons (CPNs) through a series of tightly regulated cellular events.Defects in any of those steps may prevent the proper development of the corpus callosum resulting in a spectrum of disorders collectively referred to as corpus callosum dysgenesis (CCD). Here, we report 5 patients carrying bi-allelic variants in WDR47 presenting CCD together with microcephaly. Using a combination of in vitro and in vivo mouse models and complementation assays, we show that independently from its previously identified functions in neuronal migration and neurite extension, Wdr47 is required for survival of callosal neurons by contributing to the maintenance of mitochondrial and microtubule homeostasis. We further provide evidence that severity of the CCD phenotype is determined by the degree of the loss of function caused by the variants. Taken together, we identify WDR47 as a novel causative gene for corpus callosum abnormalities.

Expression data from retinal pigment epithelium in pigmented and albino mouse embryos

Project description:In mammalian albinism, disrupted melanogenesis in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is associated with fewer retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) projecting ipsilaterally to the brain, resulting in numerous abnormalities in the retina and visual pathway, especially binocular vision. To further understand the molecular link between disrupted RPE and a reduced ipsilateral RGC projection in albinism, we compared gene expression in the embryonic albino and pigmented mouse RPE.

Transcription profiling of mouse cortex (rostral and caudal) of AP2gamma knockouts and control mic revels transcription factor AP2I? regulates the number of basal progenitors

Project description:Understanding the mechanisms that specify neuronal subtypes is important to unravel the complex mechanisms of neuronal circuit assembly. Here we have identified a novel role for the transcription factor AP2Î³ in progenitor and neuronal subtype specification in the cerebral cortex. Conditional deletion of AP2Î³ causes misspecification of basal progenitors starting at; mid-neurogenesis and gain-of-function experiments show that AP2Î³ directly regulates the expression of several genes characteristic for basal progenitors, such as Math3 and Tbr2. The misspecification of basal progenitors upon loss of AP2Î³ resulted in their increased death and; the ultimate reduction of callosal layer II/III projection neurons. This had pronounced effects on visual performance with a strong reduction of visual acuity. Thus, we have identified a novel regulator of basal progenitor fate regulating the number of layer II/III neurons in an area-specific manner and revealing their importance for accurate function of the visual cortex. Experiment Overall Design: We analysed 12 samples from the cortex (rostral and caudal) of AP2gamma k.o. mice and control mice. For each of the 4 groups (caudal ko, caudal wt, rostral ko, rostral wt) three biological replicates were analysed.

Excessive local host-graft connectivity in aged and amyloid-loaded brain

Project description:Transplantation is a clinically relevant approach for brain repair, but much remains to be understood about influences of the disease environment in the host on transplant connectivity. To explore the influence of ageing and amyloid pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD) we examined graft connectivity using monosynaptic Rabies virus tracing in APP/PS1 mice and in 16-18 month-old wild type mice. Neurons differentiated within 4 weeks and integrated well into the host visual cortex receiving input from the regions appropriate for visual cortex. Surprisingly, however, we found a prominent several-fold increase in local visual cortex input connectivity in both amyloid-loaded and aged environment. State-of-the-art deep proteome analysis using mass spectrometry provides first insights into the composition of environments promoting or not local exuberant input connectivity. These data therefore highlight the key role of the host pathology in shaping the input connectome calling for caution in extrapolating from one to another pathological condition.

LHX2 regulates dendritic morphogenesis in layer II/III of the neocortex via distinct pathways in progenitors and postmitotic neurons

Project description:In the mammalian neocortex, excitatory neurons that send projections via the corpus callosum are critical to integrating information across the two brain hemispheres. The molecular mechanisms governing the development of the dendritic arbours and spines of these callosal neurons are poorly understood, yet these features are critical to their physiological properties. LIM Homeodomain 2 (Lhx2), a regulator of fundamental processes in cortical development, is expressed in postmitotic callosal neurons occupying layer II/III of the neocortex and also in their progenitors in the embryonic day (E) 15.5 ventricular zone of the mouse neocortex. We tested whether this factor is essential for dendritic arbour configuration and spine morphogenesis of layer II/III neurons. Here, we report loss of Lhx2 either in postmitotic callosal neurons or their progenitors, resulting in shrunken dendritic arbours and perturbed spine morphology. In postmitotic neurons, we identified that LHX2 regulates dendritic and spine morphogenesis via the canonical Wnt/β Catenin signalling pathway. Constitutive activation of this pathway in postmitotic neurons recapitulates the Lhx2 loss-of-function phenotype. In E15.5 progenitors, we identified that bHLH transcription factor Neurog2 mediates LHX2 function in regulating dendritic and spine morphogenesis. We show that Neurog2 expression increases upon loss of Lhx2 and that shRNA-mediated Neurog2 knockdown rescues the loss of Lhx2 phenotype. Our study uncovers novel LHX2 functions consistent with its temporally dynamic and multifunctional roles in the cortical circuit assembly.

Proteome dynamics during postnatal mouse corpus callosum development

Project description:Formation of cortical connections requires the precise coordination of several discrete stages. This is particularly significant with regard to the corpus callosum, the largest white matter structure bridging both cerebral hemispheres, whose development undergoes several dynamic stages including the crossing of axon projections, the elimination of exuberant projections, and the myelination of established tracts. To comprehensively characterize the molecular events in this dynamic process, we set to determine the distinct temporal expression of proteins regulating the formation of the corpus callosum and their respective developmental functions. Mass spectrometry-based proteomic profiling was performed on early postnatal mouse corpus callosi, for which limited evidence has been obtained previously, using stable isotope of labeled amino acids in mammals (SILAM). The analyzed corpus callosi had distinct proteomic profiles depending on age, indicating rapid progression of specific molecular events during this period. The proteomic expression profiles were then segregated into five separate protein clusters, each with distinct trajectories relevant to their intended developmental functions. Our analysis both confirms many previously-identified proteins in aspects of corpus callosum development, and identifies new candidates in understudied areas of development including callosal axon refinement. We present a valuable resource for identifying new proteins integral to corpus callosum development that will provide new insights into the development and diseases afflicting this structure.

Molecular classification of zebrafish retinal ganglion cells links genes to behavior

Project description:Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) form an array of feature detectors, which transmit visual information through segregated channels to central brain regions. Characterizing RGC diversity is required to understand the logic of this functional parcellation. Using single- cell transcriptomics, we systematically classified RGCs in adult and larval zebrafish, thereby identifying marker genes for >30 stable and several transient cell types, cell type-specific markers, and their maturational changes. We used this catalog to engineer transgenic driverreporter lines, enabling experimental genetic access to specific RGC types. Strikingly, expression of a few transcription factors often predicts dendrite morphological features, in particular and axonal projections to specific tectal layers and extratectal targets. Moreover, iIn vivo calcium imaging revealed that molecularly defined RGCs exhibit highly specific functional tuningphysiological properties. Finally, chemogenetic ablation of eomesa+ RGCs, which comprise three melanopsin-expressing types with a specific projections to thalamus, pretectum and one deep tectal layerpattern, selectively impaired a visual behavior, phototaxis. Our study establishes a framework and provides a resource for systematically studying the functional architecture of the visual system.
