Projection-Specific Heterogeneity of the Axon Initial Segment of Pyramidal Neurons in the Prelimbic Cortex

The axon initial segment(AIS)is a highly spe-cialized axonal compartment where the action potential is initiated.The heterogeneity of AISs has been suggested to occur between interneurons and pyramidal neurons(PyNs),which likely contributes to their unique spiking properties.However,whether the various characteristics of AISs can be linked to specific PyN subtypes remains unknown.Here,we report that in the prelimbic cortex(PL)of the mouse,two types of PyNs with axon projections either to the contralat-eral PL or to the ipsilateral basal lateral amygdala,possess distinct AIS properties reflected by morphology,ion chan-nel expression,action potential initiation,and axo-axonic synaptic inputs from chandelier cells.Furthermore,projec-tion-specific AIS diversity is more prominent in the superfi-cial layer than in the deep layer.Thus,our study reveals the cortical layer-and axon projection-specific heterogeneity of PyN AISs,which may endow the spiking of various PyN types with exquisite modulation.
