Abstract

Topographic organization characterizes hippocampal circuits, yet its functional significance remains unclear. By selectively disrupting CA1-to-subiculum topographic projections in latrophilin-2 conditional knockout mice, we show that precise topography shapes the anatomical distribution of subicular spatial coding while preserving single-cell tuning. Disrupted topography also selectively impairs boundary vector coding and long-term network stability. Thus, CA1 inputs provide an indispensable scaffold for organizing subicular spatial maps and dynamics.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a preprint, done in animal, not in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
