When voluntary movements are executed under different contexts, different context-dependent signals are thought to weaken from secondary motor cortex (M2) to primary motor cortex (M1). However, it is unclear how the different contexts are processed from M2 to M1 to execute skilled movement. We conduct two-photon calcium imaging of M2 and M1 in mice performing internally generated and external-cue-triggered movements. Context dependency is consistently high in M2 L2/3 neurons and consistently low in M1 pyramidal tract neurons. By contrast, context dependency in M2 → M1 axons and M1 L2/3 neurons increases as task performance improves. In addition, the context dependency of M1 L2/3, but not M2 → M1 axons, is associated with fine-movement proficiency. The increase in context dependency correlates with stabilization of the context-dependent population activity and an increase in the neurons that strongly encode contextual and motor information. Thus, emergence of distinct context-dependent ensembles may be necessary for the context-to-motor transformation that facilitates skilled motor performance.
Transformation of sensory inputs to goal-directed actions requires estimation of sensory-cue values based on outcome history. We conduct wide-field and two-photon calcium imaging of the mouse neocortex during classical conditioning with two cues with different water-reward probabilities. Although licking movement dominates the area-averaged activity over the whole dorsal neocortex, the dorsomedial frontal cortex (dmFrC) affects other dorsal frontal cortical activities, and its inhibition extinguishes differences in anticipatory licking between the cues. Many dorsal frontal and medial prefrontal cortical neurons are task related. Subsets of these neurons are more excited by the low-reward-predicting cue or unrewarded outcomes than by the high-reward-predicting cue or rewarded outcomes, respectively. Task-related activities of these neurons and the others are counterbalanced, so that population activity appears dominated by licking. The reward-predicting cue and outcome history are most strongly represented in dmFrC. Our results suggest that dmFrC is crucial for initiating cortical processes to select or inhibit action.
Two-photon imaging with genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs) enables long-term observation of neuronal activity in vivo. However, there are very few studies of GECIs in primates. Here, we report a method for long-term imaging of a GECI, GCaMP6f, expressed from adeno-associated virus vectors in cortical neurons of the adult common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus), a small New World primate. We used a tetracycline-inducible expression system to robustly amplify neuronal GCaMP6f expression and up- and downregulate it for more than 100 days. We succeeded in monitoring spontaneous activity not only from hundreds of neurons three-dimensionally distributed in layers 2 and 3 but also from single dendrites and axons in layer 1. Furthermore, we detected selective activities from somata, dendrites, and axons in the somatosensory cortex responding to specific tactile stimuli. Our results provide a way to investigate the organization and plasticity of cortical microcircuits at subcellular resolution in non-human primates.
