Abstract
A striking example of the brain's complexity and continued plasticity is the addition of new neuronal components to a circuit in a process called neurogenesis. Two brain regions exhibit profound circuit remodeling through this process - the olfactory bulb and hippocampus. However, how local network changes in both regions influence global circuit rewiring and dynamic network features remain largely unexplored due to the lack of spatiotemporal resolution technology and large-scale electrophysiological activity recordings. Here, we demonstrate large-scale recordings using a high-density neurochip to reveal multimodal circuit-wide electrophysiological properties and layer-specific functional connectivity in the olfactory bulb and hippocampal networks. Our findings illustrate simultaneous recordings from the entire network, which allows us to quantify synchronous electrophysiological parameter differences and layer-specific waveform markers. Examining pairwise cross-covariance between active electrode pairs reveals individual neuronal ensemble contributions to synchronous activation between layers and hub microcircuits, demonstrating network-wide rewiring. Our study suggests a novel tool to address the computational implications of large-scale activity patterns in functional multimodal neurogenic circuits.
