ABSTRACT
Information represented by principal neurons in anterior piriform cortex (APC) is regulated by local, recurrent excitation and inhibition, but the circuit mechanisms remain elusive. Two types of layer 2 (L2) principal neurons, semilunar (SL), and superficial pyramidal (SP) cells, are parallel output channels, and the control of their activity gates the output of APC. Here, we examined the hypothesis that recurrent inhibition differentially regulates SL and SP cells. Patterned optogenetic stimulation revealed that the strength of recurrent inhibition is target- and layer-specific L1 > L3 for SL cells, but L3 > L1 for SP cells. This target- and layer-specific inhibition was largely attributable to the parvalbumin (PV), but not somatostatin, interneurons. Intriguingly, olfactory experience selectively modulated the PV to SP microcircuit while maintaining the overall target and laminar specificity of inhibition. Together, these results indicate the importance of target-specific inhibitory wiring for odor processing, implicating these mechanisms in gating the output of piriform cortex.
