RBFOX3 regulates hippocampal transcriptomic programs to maintain synaptic and ultrastructural integrity.

RBFOX3 is a neuron-specific RNA-binding protein essential for maintaining brain circuit homeostasis and functional connectivity. Genetic disruptions in RBFOX3 are clinically linked to cognitive impairment, epilepsy, and sleep disorders. Although global Rbfox3 knockout (Rbfox3-/-) mouse models have established its necessity in hippocampus-dependent neuronal circuits and behaviors, the underlying hippocampal transcriptomic landscape and synaptic ultrastructure remain poorly understood. To address these gaps, we integrated hippocampal RNA-sequencing from Rbfox3-/- mice with high-throughput sequencing of RNA isolated by crosslinking immunoprecipitation analysis. We identified 3,401 differentially expressed genes in the hippocampus of Rbfox3-/- mice, confirming 1,920 as candidate RBFOX3 targets. Gene Ontology enrichment analysis revealed that these candidate targets converge on pathways governing neuronal morphogenesis, synaptic transmission, dendritic development, and cognition. Furthermore, transmission electron microscopy of the hippocampal dentate gyrus revealed that while the overall presynaptic area remained unaltered, Rbfox3 deletion reduced presynaptic vesicle number, presynaptic mitochondria area, and postsynaptic density thickness. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that RBFOX3 acts as a critical regulator orchestrating the transcriptomic programs required for hippocampal structural and functional maturation, revealing that its loss compromises both the metabolic and structural architecture of the synapse.

Declarative versus episodic: two theories put to the test.

The question of whether the hippocampus plays a selective role in episodic memory or a more general role in both episodic and semantic memory (together termed declarative memory) is an unresolved and much-debated topic in the current literature. In two back-to-back articles in this issue of Neuron, Squire and his colleagues describe findings from a group of six patients with damage thought to be limited to the hippocampus. The reported findings provide new evidence toward resolving this much-debated controversy.

An FMRI study of the role of the medial temporal lobe in implicit and explicit sequence learning.

fMRI was used to investigate the neural substrates supporting implicit and explicit sequence learning, focusing especially upon the role of the medial temporal lobe. Participants performed a serial reaction time task (SRTT). For implicit learning, they were naive about a repeating pattern, whereas for explicit learning, participants memorized another repeating sequence. fMRI analyses comparing repeating versus random sequence blocks demonstrated activation of frontal, parietal, cingulate, and striatal regions implicated in previous SRTT studies. Importantly, mediotemporal lobe regions were active in both explicit and implicit SRTT learning. Moreover, the results provide evidence of a role for the hippocampus and related cortices in the formation of higher order associations under both implicit and explicit learning conditions, regardless of conscious awareness of sequence knowledge.
