Outline of Final Research Achievements

The perforant path (pp)-granule cell (GC) synapse is poorly characterized at molecular/subcellular level. Here we show that mice that lack a pan-neuronal subunit of the septin cytoskeleton, pass hippocampus-dependent tasks. However, they consistently underperform in specific tasks that require discrimination among distinct spatial contexts. Hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) neuron-selective supplementation of the septin subunit restores their performance, while the local depletion recapitulates the defects in wild-type mice. EM morphometry of three major hippocampal subregions shows normal synapse density, PSD area, and spine volume, but reveals a significant scarcity of spine apparatus that is most severe in the pp-GC synapse. Live imaging of septin-depleted primary cultured DG neurons reveals low frequency in ER entry from dendritic shafts into spines. These and other findings indicate a septin-mediated postsynaptic mechanism required in pp-GC synapses for spatial pattern separation.
