Abstract

Prior memories can be integrated with novel experiences during learning to facilitate memory organization. This process must be tightly regulated to prevent inappropriate integration of unrelated memories. However, the biological mechanisms underlying such control are currently unknown. Using multiple imaging, chemogenetic and optogenetic techniques in mice, we demonstrate that the ventromedial prefrontal cortex is recruited over time to control memory integration in the hippocampus according to contextual similarities between experiences. This control is achieved through direct projections to the medial entorhinal cortex that modulate entorhinal activity, ensemble overlap in the dorsal hippocampus, memory linking, activity of neurogliaform cells in the dorsal CA1 and memory allocation. Together, our results provide new insights into the mechanisms controlling crucial processes of memory organization in the mammalian brain.

Tracing map

Proposed by the machine: these links were found in the paper and verified at the source, without human review. The map will receive a Zenodo DOI once one of the paper's authors has validated it with their ORCID.

What the map holds:

  • 3 repositories of the authors' code, each at its verified commit, with its license and how the link was found in the paper;
  • 819 scripts, each with its path and the digest of its content;
  • 4 matches between paragraphs of the paper and lines of the code (method lexical-v1);
  • neither the text of the paper nor the code itself.

Its JSON (tracing-map.json) is deposited on Zenodo with its DOI once the map is validated.
