Tiivistelmä

Hippocampus is essential for episodic memory formation, lesion studies demonstrating its role especially in processing spatial and temporal information. Further, adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) in the dentate gyrus (DG) has also been linked to learning. To study hippocampal neuronal activity during events like learning, in vivo calcium imaging has become increasingly popular. It relies on the use of adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors, which seem to lead to a decrease in AHN when applied on the DG. More notably, imaging requires the implantation of a relatively large lens into the tissue. Here, we examined how injection of an AAV vector and implantation of a 1-mm-diameter lens into the dorsal DG routinely used to image calcium activity impact the behavior of adult male C57BL/6 mice. To this aim, we conducted open-field, object-recognition and object-location tasks at baseline, after AAV vector injection, and after lens implantation. Finally, we determined AHN from hippocampal slices using a doublecortin-antibody. According to our results, the operations needed for in vivo imaging of the dorsal DG did not have adverse effects on behavior, although we noticed a decrease in AHN ipsilaterally to the operations. Thus, our results suggest that in vivo imaging can be safely used to, for example, correlate patterns of calcium activity with learned behavior. One should still keep in mind that the defects on the operated side might be functionally compensated by the (hippocampus in the) contralateral hemisphere.
