Abstract

Subicular regions play important roles in spatial processing and many cognitive functions, and these are mainly attributed to the subiculum (Sub) rather than the prosubiculum (PS). Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we identify 27 transcriptomic cell types residing in sub-domains of the Sub and PS. Based on in situ expression of reliable transcriptomic markers, the precise boundaries of the Sub and PS are consistently defined along the dorsoventral axis. Using these borders to evaluate Cre-line specificity and tracer injections, we find bona fide Sub projections topographically to structures important for spatial processing and navigation. In contrast, the PS sends its outputs to widespread brain regions crucial for motivation, emotion, reward, stress, anxiety, and fear. The Sub and PS, respectively, dominate dorsal and ventral subicular regions and receive different afferents. These results reveal two molecularly and anatomically distinct circuits centered in the Sub and PS, respectively, providing a consistent explanation for historical data and a clearer foundation for future studies.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The L2/3 RHP subclass contains two supertypes assigned to the superficial layers of ProS (L2/3 IT ProS Dcn Cbln4) and HATA (IT HATA Id4, also extending to ventral ENT) regions.

    “The L2/3 RHP subclass contains two supertypes assigned to the superficial layers of ProS (L2/3 IT ProS Dcn Cbln4, Fig. 4I–J) and HATA (IT HATA Id4, also extending to ventral ENT) regions (Ding et al., 2020).”
  • ProS contains cell types similar to either SUB or CA1, as in previous study.

    “suggesting ProS contains cell types similar to either SUB or CA1, as in our previous study (Ding et al., 2020)”
  • This predicted isocortex-like circuit organization is highly consistent with currently known interareal connections of HPF, providing validation to the transcriptomic cell type framework.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
