Abstract

AbstractThe entorhinal cortex is involved in establishing enduring visuo-auditory associative memory in the neocortex. Here we explored the mechanisms underlying this synaptic plasticity related to projections from the visual and entorhinal cortices to the auditory cortex, using optogenetics of dual pathways. High-frequency laser stimulation (HFLS) of the visuo-auditory projection did not induce long-term potentiation (LTP). However, after pairing with sound stimulus, the visuo-auditory inputs were potentiated following either infusion of cholecystokinin (CCK) or HFLS of the entorhino-auditory CCK-expressing projection. Combining retrograde tracing and RNAscope in situ hybridization, we show that CCK expression is higher in entorhinal cortex neurons projecting to the auditory cortex than in those originating from the visual cortex. In the presence of CCK, potentiation in the neocortex occurred when the pre-synaptic input arrived 200 ms before post-synaptic firing, even after just five trials of pairing. Behaviorally, inhibition of CCK signaling blocked the generation of associative memory. Our results indicate that neocortical visuo-auditory association is formed through heterosynaptic plasticity, which depends on release of CCK in the neocortex mostly from entorhinal afferents.
