dc.description.abstract | Memory for odour information may result from temporal coupling between the olfactory and hippocampal systems. Respiration
defines the frequency of olfactory perception, but how the respiratory rate affects hippocampal oscillations remains poorly under-
stood. The afferent connectivity of the medial septum/diagonal band of Broca complex (MS/DB) proposes this region as a cross-
roads between respiratory and limbic pathways. Here we investigate if the firing rates of septal neurons integrate respiratory rate
signals. We demonstrate that approximately 50% of MS/DB neurons are temporally correlated with sniffing frequency. Moreover,
a group of slow-spiking septal neurons are phase-locked to the sniffing cycle. We show that inter-burst intervals of MS/DB theta
cells relate to the sniff rate. Intranasal odour infusion evokes sniff phase preference for the activity of fast-spiking MS/DB neurons.
Concurrently, the infusion augments the correlation between sniffing and limbic theta oscillations. During periods of sniffing
–
theta
correlation, CA1 place cells fired preferentially during the inhalation phase, suggesting the theta cycle as a coherent time frame
for central olfactory processing. Furthermore, injection of the GABAergic agonist muscimol into medial septum induces a parallel
decrease of sniffing and theta frequencies. Our findings provide experimental evidence that MS/DB does not merely generate
theta rhythm, but actively integrates sensorimotor stimuli that reflect sniffing rate. Such integration may provide temporal oscilla-
tory synchronisation of MS/DB-innervated limbic structures with the sniffing cycle. | en |
