In this study, we investigated this issue by recording DMS and DLS single neuron activity in rats performing a continuous spatial alternation task, from the acquisition to optimized performance. We first applied a classical analytical approach to identify task-related activity based on the modifications of single neuron firing rate in relation to specific task events or maze trajectories. We then used an innovative approach based on Hawkes process to reconstruct a directed connectivity graph of simultaneously recorded neurons, that was used to decode animal behavior. This approach enabled us to better unravel the role of DMS and DLS neural networks across learning stages. We showed that DMS and DLS display different task-related activity throughout learning stages, and the proportion of coding neurons over time decreases in the DMS and increases in the DLS. Despite these major differences, the decoding power of both networks increases during learning.

Through cell-type specific knockdown and rescue experiments of Dscam1, we have determined that the interaction between MN24 and Scp2-positive fascicle, mediated by Dscam1, promotes the development of both dendrites and axonal routing.

However, the mechanisms involved in this modulation are not well defined in mammals. We have established a new olfactory assay that challenges a thirsty mouse to choose an aversive odor over an attractive odor in foraging for water, thus overriding their innate behavioral response to odor. Innately, mice prefer the attractive odor port over the aversive odor port. However, decreasing the probability of water at the attractive port leads mice to prefer the aversive port, reflecting a learned override of the innate response to the odors. The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is a fourth-order olfactory brain area, involved in flexible value association, with behaviorally relevant outputs throughout the limbic system. We performed optogenetic and chemogenetic silencing experiments that demonstrate the OFC is necessary for this learned modulation of innate aversion to odor. Further, we characterized odor evoked c-fos expression in learned and control mice and found significant suppression of activity in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, lateral septum, and central and medial amygdala.
