Functionally distinct dopamine domains in the hippocampus.
bioRxiv 2024 Februrary 2
Numerous studies have identified dopamine signaling in the hippocampus as necessary for certain types of learning and memory. Since dopamine in the striatum is strongly tied to rewards, dopamine in the hippocampus is thought to reinforce reward learning. Despite the critical influence of dopamine on hippocampal function, little is known about dopamine release in the hippocampus or the specific ways dopamine can influence hippocampal function. Based on the functional complexity of hippocampal circuitry, we hypothesized the existence of multiple dopamine signaling domains. Using optical dopamine sensors, two-photon imaging, and head-fixed behaviors, we identified two functionally and spatially distinct dopamine domains in the hippocampus. The "superficial" domain (cell somata and apical dendrites) showed reward-related dopamine transients early in Pavlovian conditioning but were replaced by "deep" domain transients (basal dendritic layer) with experience. These two domains also play distinct roles in a hippocampal-dependent, goal-directed virtual reality task where mice use exploratory licks to discover the location of a hidden reward zone. Here, positive dopamine ramps appeared in the superficial domain as mice approached the reward zone, similar to those seen in the striatum. At the same time, the deep domain showed strong reward-related transients. These results reveal small-scale, anatomically segregated, dopamine domains in the hippocampus. Furthermore dopamine domain activity had temporal-specificity for different phases of behavior. Finally, the subcellular scale of dopamine domains suggests specialized postsynaptic pathways for processing and integrating functionally distinct dopaminergic influences.
