Kinematic Information

In the study of the neural code, information-theoretical methods have the advantage of making no assumptions about the probabilistic mapping between stimuli and responses. In the sensory domain, several methods have been developed to quantify the amount of information encoded in neural activity, without necessarily identifying the specific stimulus or response features that instantiate the code. As a proof of concept, here we extend those methods to the encoding of kinematic information in a navigating rodent. We estimate the information encoded in two well-characterized codes, mediated by the firing rate of neurons, and by the phase-of-firing with respect to the theta-filtered local field potential. In addition, we also consider a novel code, mediated by the delta-filtered local field potential. We find that all three codes transmit significant amounts of kinematic information, and informative neurons tend to employ a combination of codes. Cells tend to encode conjunctions of kinematic features, so that most of the informative neurons fall outside the traditional cell types employed to classify spatially-selective units. We conclude that a broad perspective on the candidate stimulus and response features expands the repertoire of strategies with which kinematic information is encoded.

1. The olfactory processing network in the procerebral (PC) lobe of the terrestrial mollusk Limax maximus exhibits a coherent oscillation of local field potential that is modulated by odor input. To understand the cellular basis of this oscillation, we developed a cell culture preparation of isolated PC neurons and studied the responses of isolated cells to stimulation with neurotransmitters known to be present in the PC lobe. 2. The distribution of PC soma diameters suggests at least two different populations of neurons. Approximately 95% of isolated cells had soma diameters of 7-8 microns, with the remaining cells having larger diameters (10-15 microns). 3. Extracellular measurements of action potentials and optical measurements of intracellular calcium concentrations in fura-2-loaded cells were made. Serotonin and dopamine excited PC neurons and promoted transitions from steady to bursty activity. Both amines elicited increases in intracellular calcium, presumably concomitant with the increase in action-potential frequency. 4. Glutamate suppressed action-potential firing and reduced intracellular calcium. This effect was seen most clearly when glutamate was applied to cells excited by high potassium medium. Quisqualate is an effective glutamate agonist in this system, whereas kainate is not. 5. Combined with anatomic and biochemical data and with studies of the effects of these neurotransmitters on the oscillating local field potential of the intact PC network, the data from isolated PC neurons are consistent with the hypothesis that dopamine and serotonin modulate network dynamics, whereas glutamate is involved in generating the basic oscillation of local field potential in the PC. 6. The optical studies of fura-2-loaded cells showed that several treatments that increase the rate of action-potential production lead to elevations in intracellular calcium. Optical studies of intracellular calcium may be useful for multisite measurements of activity in the intact, oscillating PC lobe network.

Functional Connections

During sleep, changes in brain rhythms and neuromodulator levels in cortex modify the properties of individual neurons and the network as a whole. In principle, network-level interactions during sleep can be studied by observing covariation in spontaneous activity between neurons. Spontaneous activity, however, reflects only a portion of the effective functional connectivity that is activated by external and internal inputs (e.g., sensory stimulation, motor behavior, and mental activity), and it has been shown that neural responses are less correlated during external sensory stimulation than during spontaneous activity. Here, we took advantage of the unique property that the auditory cortex continues to respond to sounds during sleep and used external acoustic stimuli to activate cortical networks for studying neural interactions during sleep. We found that during slow-wave sleep (SWS), local (neuron-neuron) correlations are not reduced by acoustic stimulation remaining higher than in wakefulness and rapid eye movement sleep and remaining similar to spontaneous activity correlations. This high level of correlations during SWS complements previous work finding elevated global (local field potential-local field potential) correlations during sleep. Contrary to the prediction that slow oscillations in SWS would increase neural correlations during spontaneous activity, we found little change in neural correlations outside of periods of acoustic stimulation. Rather, these findings suggest that functional connections recruited in sound processing are modified during SWS and that slow rhythms, which in general are suppressed by sensory stimulation, are not the sole mechanism leading to elevated network correlations during sleep.
