1 Comprehensive computational model for memory processing in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex circuitry A. Project Scope (1) Describe the relevance of the scientific problem within the biological and medical sciences Many neurological, psychiatric, and neurodegenerative diseases, including traumatic brain injury, temporal lobe epilepsy, posttraumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer s disease are associated with a dysfunction of brain regions in the medial temporal lobe, including the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex. Because the dysfunctional brain regions are critical for memory formation, in particular for autobiographical memories, patients with these diseases frequently suffer from memory impairments, and treatments to restore memory function in disorders with neural circuit dysfunction could be better designed to be disease modifying or to reversing the disease if we gain a better understanding of how neural networks support memory function. Evidence from humans and from animal models indicates that the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex are particularly critical for the learning and memory. The hippocampus was first described as a trisynaptic circuit in which information is serially processed from the entorhinal cortex to the dentate gyrus, from the dentate to CA3 and from CA3 to CA1. Subsequent network models have then added the finding that the subregions are not only serially connected but that each also receives direct entorhinal projections and form multiple parallel loops through the hippocampus. These circuit diagrams have nonetheless not included the CA2 subregion as a separate processing stage, while recent data indicate that CA2 shows major differences in its connectivity, plasticity, and neuronal firing patterns compared to other subregions (Fig. 1). In particular, CA2 may code to a lesser extent than other hippocampal subregions for spatial context and to a larger extent for temporal and social aspects of behavior (Fig. 2). The integration of these functions may complement the hippocampal circuit such that it supports multisensory integration rather than a more specialized processing of space. In the current PhD project we will take advantage of data recorded with state-of-the-art electrophysiology and in vivo imaging in order to develop mathematical models to dissect the contributions of different hippocampal regions on spatial memory processing. In particular, the function of the connection between entorhinal cortex and particular hippocampal subregions will be investigated. The aims of the projects are: (a) Develop hippocampal models that include processing by different subregions and functional cell types layers (b) Develop models to understand how the loops between hippocampal subregions and entorhinal cortex support memory processing
2 (2) Describe how computational approaches will be used to address this problem and extend prior work in this field Most current computational models of the hippocampus have been limited to the dentate, CA1 and CA3 subregion, but anatomical data and physiological recordings show a large diversity in that more diverse functional cell types are found in the CA2 regions and in the entorhinal cortex. A comprehensive model of neural networks that support memory processing needs to take the diversity of these subregions and functional cell types into account. We aim to develop a comprehensive model on the integration of sensory, social, and spatial inputs and on how these representations change over time to support episodic memory. B. Inter-Institutional Collaboration (1) This project will be based primarily at Simula. (2) List the contributing faculty at Simula and/or UiO, and their roles (e.g. Primary advisor, etc.) Primary advisor: Marianne Fyhn, Department of Biosciences, UiO Co-supervisors: Aslak Tveito, Simula, Anders Malthe-Sørenssen, Department of Physics, UiO, and Torkel Hafting, Department of Basic Medical Sciences, UiO. (3) List the contributing faculty at UCSD, and their roles (e.g. Primary advisor, etc.) Primary advisor: Jill Leutgeb, UCSD Co-supervisor: Sefan Leutgeb, UCSD (4) Describe how the project will foster collaboration between the UCSD and Oslo groups, and how the major scientific and training objectives of the proposal will be distributed between Oslo and San Diego. Hafting, Fyhn and the Leutgebs are former colleagues at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience, NTNU, where they were key contributors of the discoveries of the grid cells and the computational uniqueness of specific sub-regions of the hippocampus for memory processing and navigation (work for which M-B and E Moser were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, 2014). A collaboration exploiting the complementary expertise of their research groups at UiO and UCSD holds great potential for novel discoveries and understanding of fundamental principles of brain function. The close interaction between experimental neuroscience (Fyhn, Hafting, Leutgeb) with expertise in computational physics (Malthe- Sørenssen (cinpla.org) and Tveito) will bring fundamental insights into the mechanisms memory processing. The current project will enable this collaboration which will be the start of a unique research training environment for the PhD student as well as for the research groups at Simula, UiO and UCSD. The candidate, being located at Simula, will analyze large data sets and develop the computational models and will work closely with experimentalist at both places; large scale extracellular recordings are being collected at UCSD and in vivo Ca2+ imaging will be conducted at the UiO. The student will attend experiments as we believe it is essential to become familiar with experimental neuroscience. C. International and Local Training (1) List any courses to be taken at UiO: PhD courses in computer programming (IFI), computational physics (FI) and neurobiology (e.g. MBV9340-Advanced Neurobiology (10 ERCT)) (2) Describe additional professional/research training activities at UiO/Simula Simula-UCSD Summer School in Computational Biology, part of the training program in the Norwegian Research School in Neuroscience, activities in CINPLA ( (3) Describe additional professional/research training activities at UCSD (4) Describe how advisors at both institutions will monitor the student s progress and development At both places, the primary supervisors (Tveito and Leutgeb) will meet with the student several times a week. Moreover, the student will be part of the respective research groups and attend all activities. Regular skype meetings will be used for overseas follow-up.
