Description
Summary:Experience-driven alterations in neuronal activity are followed by structural-functional modifications allowing cells to adapt to these activity changes. Structural plasticity has been observed for cortical principal cells. However, how GABAergic interneurons respond to experience-dependent network activity changes is not well understood. We show that parvalbumin-expressing interneurons (PVIs) of the dentate gyrus (DG) possess dendritic spines, which undergo behaviorally induced structural dynamics. Glutamatergic inputs at PVI spines evoke signals with high spatial compartmentalization defined by neck length. Mice experiencing novel contexts form more PVI spines with elongated necks and exhibit enhanced network and PVI activity and cFOS expression. Enhanced green fluorescent protein reconstitution across synaptic partner-mediated synapse labeling shows that experience-driven PVI spine growth boosts targeting of PVI spines over shafts by glutamatergic synapses. Our findings propose a role for PVI spine dynamics in regulating PVI excitation by their inputs, which may allow PVIs to dynamically adjust their functional integration in the DG microcircuitry in relation to network computational demands. [Display omitted] •A substantial proportion of PVIs in the DG, but not hippocampal CA1-3, are spiny•PVI spine length regulates chemical and functional input isolation•Experience-driven DG network activity controls PVI spine density and shape•Experience increases the preference of glutamatergic inputs for PVI spines over shafts Kaufhold et al. investigate the conditions leading to spine dynamics in dentate gyrus PVIs. Experience-driven elevated neuronal network activity increases the number and length of spines at PVI dendrites, a regulatory mechanism supporting the preference of synaptic inputs to spines over dendritic shafts for their functional isolation.
