The neocortex is comprised of two primary neuronal classes: pyramidal cells that release the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate, and interneurons that release the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA. Pyramidal neurons project their axons locally and distally to form extended circuit ensembles across cortical and subcortical areas, whereas GABAergic interneurons (INs) typically project their axons locally to regulate the excitability of nearby pyramidal cells and other INs. Pyramidal neurons share a common dendritic structure characterized by an apical dendrite that typically extends up towards the pial surface with extensive arborization in cortical layer 1 (L1), a cell sparse region that receives diverse long-range cortical and thalamic axonal projections (Garcia-Munoz and Arbuthnott, 2015; D’Souza and Burkhalter, 2017; Ibrahim et al., 2020; Schuman et al., 2021). In combination with its basal dendrite and somatic inputs, the pyramidal neuron thus has the ability to distinguish and integrate inputs from bottom-up and top-down sources in real-time, a key feature that enables dynamic cortical activity and adaptability during the animal’s interactions with the external world (Schuman et al., 2021; Aru et al., 2020).

While the morphological diversity of IN dendrites and axons was noted over a century ago by Ramón y Cajal, recent work has begun to elucidate how this specialization of IN subtypes allows for compartment-specific inhibition across the entire pyramidal neuron (Tremblay et al., 2016; Feldmeyer et al., 2018; Huang and Paul, 2019; Fishell and Kepecs, 2020; Jiang et al., 2013; Jiang et al., 2015). The discovery of molecular markers in tandem with electrophysical and morphological approaches has enabled the delineation of several major IN groups and subtypes, each with distinctive roles in the cortical circuit (Tremblay et al., 2016; Taniguchi et al., 2011; Pfeffer et al., 2013; Tasic et al., 2016; Paul et al., 2017; Tasic et al., 2018; Gouwens et al., 2020; Yao et al., 2021). INs that express the Ca²⁺ binding protein parvalbumin (PV), which account for ~40% of the GABAergic INs in neocortex, exhibit fast-spiking properties, with most projecting their axons to form perisomatic baskets on nearby pyramidal neuron soma (Hu et al., 2014). In layer 4 of sensory cortical areas, these PV INs form a canonical circuit in which they provide feedforward inhibition of excitatory neurons receiving core thalamic inputs (Bruno and Simons, 2002; Cruikshank et al., 2007). A distinct but less abundant subtype of PV INs are the chandelier cells, whose axons form cartridge-like inputs on the pyramidal neuron axon initial segment, thereby enabling control and coordination of the axonal output of pyramidal neuron ensembles (Inan and Anderson, 2014; Lu et al., 2017; Gallo et al., 2020). Somatostatin (SST) expressing interneurons (accounting for ~30% of the INs) represent a second major group of INs, with the majority characterized by an ascending axonal arbor that targets the distal apical dendrites of pyramidal cells (SST Martinotti cells) (Tremblay et al., 2016; Riedemann, 2019). A third major group of INs is distinguished by the expression of the neuropeptide vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP); these interneurons account for ~12% of the INs in the neocortex and include cells that preferentially target other interneurons, particularly SST INs, and thus act to disinhibit the local circuit (Lee et al., 2013; Pi et al., 2013; Keller et al., 2020; Kullander and Topolnik, 2021). The vast majority of recent studies exploring the roles of INs in cortical function have focused on these three groups, in no small part due to the establishment of genetic tools in rodents for targeting and manipulating the activity of each group (Taniguchi et al., 2011; Madisen et al., 2015; He et al., 2016; Daigle et al., 2018). This body of work has revealed how IN diversity facilitates greater flexibility and computational power in cortical circuits.

In addition to the three main IN groups described above, there remains an additional population of GABAergic interneurons (about 18% of the INs in the neocortex) that have been much less studied. This IN population is particularly enriched in superficial layers of the neocortex, and includes ~90% of the INs in layer 1 (Tremblay et al., 2016; Schuman et al., 2019) as well as neurogliaform cells (NGFCs) in all layers and CCK basket cells (CCK BCs), two IN types previously identified in the neocortex that do not express PV, SST or VIP (Kisvárday et al., 1990; Kawaguchi and Kubota, 1996; Galarreta et al., 2004; Bodor et al., 2005). NGFCs are an interneuron type that exhibits several remarkable properties, including an extremely high degree of output connectivity to other cells (pyramidal neurons and other INs) and the ability to induce postsynaptic GABA-B responses following a single action potential (Tamás et al., 2003; Oláh et al., 2007; Oláh et al., 2009; Overstreet-Wadiche and McBain, 2015). CCK BCs are a rare species in the neocortex whose synapses on pyramidal neurons exhibit endocannabinoid mediated depolarization induced suppression of inhibition (DSI; Bodor et al., 2005; Galarreta et al., 2008).

Cortical GABAergic INs are specified during embryogenesis in the medial and caudal ganglionic eminences of the ventral telencephalon (MGE and CGE, respectively; Wamsley and Fishell, 2017; Hu et al., 2017; Lim et al., 2018), with a fraction of non-MGE derived INs originating from the preoptic area (POA; Gelman et al., 2009). All cortical PV and SST INs arise from Nkx2.1+progenitors within the MGE (Xu et al., 2008), and express Lhx6 during tangential migration and in the adult (Liodis et al., 2007). Cortical CGE derived INs, i.e., the non-PV, non-SST subtypes labeled in the Htr3a(BAC)-EGFP mouse line (the 5HT3aR INs; Lee et al., 2010) can be divided into two primary populations: VIP- and non-VIP-expressing (Tremblay et al., 2016; Rudy et al., 2011; Vucurovic et al., 2010). While transgenic targeting approaches for PV, SST, and VIP INs have been developed and widely implemented (Taniguchi et al., 2011; He et al., 2016), accessing non-VIP CGE (or 5HT3aR) INs – a fourth major IN group – has been challenging due to a lack of genetic strategies to target this population, and therefore the IN subtypes present in this population are not well characterized.

Here, we show that Id2 is a marker for the INs in the neocortex that do not express PV, SST or VIP, including the non-VIP cells in L1, NGFCs in L2-6 and a variety of CCK INs. Using intersectional genetic strategies to label and optogenetically stimulate Id2 INs, we find that the vast majority of Id2 INs in L2-6 are NPY-expressing NGFCs that exhibit the late-spiking firing pattern and broad connectivity characteristic of these cells. In contrast, the much rarer non-NGFC Id2 INs display diverse firing patterns and DSI but sparse local connectivity. Combining opto-tagging with silicon probe recordings, we observe several intriguing features of NGFC in vivo behavior, such as a robust rebound in activity immediately following the cortical down states during NREM sleep. Thus, our work furthers the study of IN diversity and enables genetic access to a group of INs that despite their potent GABAergic output have remained somewhat overlooked to date.

We examined cortical single-cell transcriptome data (scRNAseq) from the Allen Institute (Tasic et al., 2016) and observed that expression of the Id2 gene was highly enriched in the INs in their collection that do not express PV, SST, or VIP (Figure 1A; Mayer et al., 2018). The Id2 IN population includes cells that express markers known to be present in non-VIP CGE INs such as Reelin (Miyoshi et al., 2010), and NPY (Kubota et al., 2011b), as well as the more recently identified markers NDNF, Lamp5 and Sncg (Tasic et al., 2016). Updated and expanded cortical and hippocampal scRNAseq data from the Allen Institute (Yao et al., 2021; Allen Institute for Brain Science, 2023) confirms that Id2 is a useful marker for studying non-PV, SST, or VIP INs (Figure 1—figure supplement 1). To develop a transgenic approach to target Id2 INs, we took advantage of an existing Id2-CreER driver line (Rawlins et al., 2009) that expresses a tamoxifen-inducible form of Cre recombinase (Metzger et al., 1995). Since Id2 is also expressed in pyramidal and non-neuronal cell types in the cortex, we crossed the Id2-CreER driver with a pan-IN Flp driver (Dlx5/6-Flpe; Miyoshi et al., 2010) such that only Id2 INs would be targeted with intersectional reporters (Figure 1B). In combination with the Cre and Flp dependent tdTomato reporter Ai65 (Madisen et al., 2015), this intersectional genetics approach yielded labeling of INs in all cortical layers of the somatosensory cortex barrel field (S1BF) following tamoxifen administration (3–4 doses between P21 and P35; see Materials and methods) to activate the CreER (Figure 1C).

Histological analysis of Id2 Ins

To determine the proportion of Id2 vs. non-Id2 INs, we utilized the intersectional/subtractive reporter FLTG (Plummer et al., 2015) where Flp activity results in tdTomato expression, but Flp + Cre results in EGFP labeling (Figure 1D). Quantification of Id2 INs (green) and non-Id2 INs (red) in the S1BF of well-labeled brains (see Materials and methods) yielded an overall fraction of 18% (680/3812 cells, n=4 brains), with the majority of Id2 INs located in superficial layers (L1-3; Figure 1E–F). This proportion and distribution was consistent with our previous estimates for non-VIP 5HT3aR or CGE INs (Tremblay et al., 2016), indicating that this genetic strategy was efficiently targeting this population. We observed a similar overall proportion of Id2 INs in other sensory areas (e.g. V1), consistent with a recent comprehensive survey of interneuron subtype distribution (Yao et al., 2021), as well as in a higher order cortical area, the prelimbic cortex (18%; Figure 1—figure supplement 2).

To assess any potential overlap between Id2 INs and PV, SST, or VIP INs, we performed intersectional genetic labeling experiments with the respective Flp drivers that cover those populations. Both PV and SST INs originate from Nkx2.1+progenitors (i.e. MGE lineages; Xu et al., 2008), and are efficiently labeled using an Nkx2.1-Flpo driver line (He et al., 2016). However, there is also a population of neurogliaform INs (NGFCs) that arise from an Nkx2.1+lineage, the vast majority of which migrate to the hippocampus (Tricoire et al., 2010). A small fraction of these MGE-derived NGFCs is located in the neocortex; these are the sparse deep layer Lamp5/Lhx6 cells described and characterized previously by us using intersectional genetics with Id2 (Id2-CreER; Nkx2.1-Flpo; Ai65) (Krienen et al., 2020; Valero et al., 2021). Id2/Nkx2.1 cells did not show any overlap with PV or SST, and were mostly localized in L6 (Valero et al., 2021; Figure 1—figure supplement 3). To examine possible overlap with VIP populations, we generated Id2-CreER; VIP-Flpo; Ai65 animals and assessed the degree of IN labeling. Here too, we observed very few labeled cells in S1BF, with most being located along the L1/2 border (Figure 1—figure supplement 3). While Id2/VIP cells were extremely sparse in S1BF, they were somewhat more prevalent in the prelimbic cortex along the L1/2 border (Figure 1—figure supplement 3). Thus, we find that the vast majority of Id2 INs (>95%) are distinct from PV, SST or VIP populations, and in the cortex, almost all originate from non-Nkx2.1 lineages (i.e., from the CGE/POA).

In superficial layers (L1-3), expression of neuropeptide Y (NPY) has been utilized successfully as a proxy to identify NGFCs (Schuman et al., 2019; Kubota et al., 2011b; Chittajallu et al., 2013; Neske et al., 2015). We evaluated the overlap between Id2 INs and NPY by performing fluorescence ISH (FISH) for tdTomato and NPY on tissue cryosections from Id2-CreER; Dlx5/6; Ai65 brains (S1BF; Figure 2A–B). The proportion of Id2/NPY cells vs. the total Id2 labeled population in S1BF ranged from 29% in L1 to 82% in L2/3, 95% in L4-5, and 61% in L6, with a combined proportion in L2-5 of 87% (638 cells counted, sections from three brains), suggesting that in contrast to L1, where Id2 INs consist of several subtypes (Schuman et al., 2019), the vast majority of Id2 cells outside of L1 are NGFCs. Within L1, our findings are consistent with our previous analysis that about 30% of L1 INs are NPY-expressing NGFCs, with the remainder of the Id2 population being comprised of canopy cells (NDNF/non-NPY) and α7 cells (Schuman et al., 2019). We further confirmed that most Id2 INs in L2-6 are NPY-expressing throughout different sensory cortical areas by generating Id2-CreER; Dlx5/6-Flpe; Ai65; NPY-hrGFP animals and comparing labeling in S1BF, V1 and A1 (Figure 2—figure supplement 1).

For cell counting, 11 sections were selected that exhibited both robust and consistent FISH signal across the S1BF area. To evaluate expression of CCK in Id2 cells, IHC for CCK was performed on thin tissue sections from Id2-CreER; Dlx5/6-Flpe; Ai65 brains (n=3). DAPI staining was included for assignment of layer identity in both staining experiments.

To explore the nature of the non-NPY Id2 neurons in L2-6, we examined the overlap between Id2 labeled cells and relatively high levels of CCK expression as the latter is a proxy for a sparse population of INs that include the large CCK basket cells (Freund and Katona, 2007; Freund, 2003; Kawaguchi and Kubota, 1997). Using IHC for CCK (Figure 2C–D), overall, in L2-6 of S1BF we observed that 15% of Id2 labeled INs exhibited strong CCK expression (165/1123 cells, sections from three brains), with Id2/CCK cells being most abundant in L2 (14% of Id2 cells) and L6 (25%). No overlap was observed between strong CCK IHC and NPY-hrGFP expression, consistent with previous work (Kubota and Kawaguchi, 1997) and the current Allen scRNAseq data (Figure 1—figure supplement 1; Yao et al., 2021). Thus, a significant fraction of the Id2/non-NPY population in cortical layers outside of L1 appear to be CCK +IN subtypes (~80% in L2/3), such that Id2/NPY and Id2/CCK populations account for nearly all of the Id2 INs in L2-5.

Electrophysiological and morphological properties of Id2 Ins

Our FISH analysis (Figure 2A–B) suggested that the majority (87%) of Id2 INs in L2-5 are NPY-expressing NGFCs. To test this hypothesis, we characterized the firing properties of Id2 INs in L2-5 of S1BF in acute brain slices. The cells were filled with biocytin during electrophysiological recording for post-hoc morphological analysis. NGFCs in L2/3 and L1 have been shown to have a late-spiking (LS) firing pattern characterized by delayed firing following a slow ramp depolarization when depolarized with step current injections to near-threshold membrane potentials (Tremblay et al., 2016; Schuman et al., 2019; Tamás et al., 2003; Oláh et al., 2009; Overstreet-Wadiche and McBain, 2015). NGFCs in these layers were also found to fire spike trains with little spike frequency adaptation, or even spike frequency acceleration, during depolarizations close to threshold, and mild adaptation during suprathreshold depolarizations. Action potentials in NGFCs have a large AHP and a slow ADP (Schuman et al., 2019; Tamás et al., 2003; Oláh et al., 2009; Hestrin and Armstrong, 1996; Wozny and Williams, 2011; Kawaguchi, 1995). We found that in a sample of randomly recorded Id2 cells (n=76), the large majority in L2-5 had a LS firing pattern (36/45; 80% in L2/3 and 28/31; 90% in L4-L5; Figure 3). These proportions are similar to the proportion of Id2/NPY cells (Figure 2). The Id2 LS cells also showed weak spike frequency adaptation during near threshold membrane depolarizations and had other electrophysiological properties typical of NGFCs (Table 1). In paired recordings of L2/3 LS Id2 cells and PCs, we observed a very high connection probability (70%; 19/27 pairs tested), consistent with previous observations and the hypothesis that NGFCs mediate volume transmission of GABA (Oláh et al., 2009). Finally, the decay of the IPSC elicited by NGFCs is known to be prolonged compared to that mediated by other INs (Tamás et al., 2003; Oláh et al., 2007). Consistent with this, we found that the decay rate (80 to 20% of peak) of the IPSC in LS-PC pairs was significantly slower than that in non-LS-PC pairs (LS-PC: 51±8ms, n=6 pairs; non-LS-PC: 16±3ms, n=5 pairs; p=0.005, two-tailed unpaired t-test).

The file consists of two workbooks, ‘tabulation’ containing the parameters for each cell, and ‘summary’ containing the summary data (average, sem, n) for each cell type. For some cells, no values are reported for some parameters and these cells are marked ‘n/a.’ A small number of cells were patched with an internal solution different than that reported in the methods. Electrophysiology parameters for these cells were not reported, as differences in internal solution can have significant impacts on electrophysiological parameters, but the cells were counted alongside the rest for the proportions reported in Figure 3. These cells were marked as ‘0’ in the ‘Internal’ column or ‘1’ otherwise. Several cells categorized as LS do not have a value for the AP latency as for these cells a voltage trace bearing a single AP was not obtained. Nevertheless, these cells were confidently labeled LS as the late-onset of the APs is evident even in multiple AP traces. Cells patched in slices with NPY-GFP (i.e. Id2-CreER; Dlx5/6-Flpe; Ai65; NPY-hrGFP) are not listed in this file as the parameters summarized in Table 1 were only taken from the unbiased cross (i.e. Id2-CreER; Dlx5/6-Flpe; Ai65).

Morphologically, the LS cells in L2-5 had the characteristic features of NGFCs with short multipolar dendrites emanating around the cell body and a significantly larger, dense axonal arbor surrounding the cell body and dendritic arbor (Figure 3A–B and Figure 3—figure supplement 1; n=15), consistent with previous descriptions of NGFC in these layers across several neocortical areas (Tamás et al., 2003; Oláh et al., 2007; Oláh et al., 2009; Overstreet-Wadiche and McBain, 2015; Kawaguchi, 1995). NGFCs in L1 resemble NGFCs in L2-5 in having short dendrites and dense axonal arborization, but their axonal arbor extends for longer horizontal distances, spanning several columns (Jiang et al., 2013; Jiang et al., 2015; Schuman et al., 2019; Hestrin and Armstrong, 1996; Kubota et al., 2011a; Zhou and Hablitz, 1996) and have been called ‘‘elongated neurogliaform cells’’ (Jiang et al., 2013; Jiang et al., 2015). We found that in the LS cells located in deeper layers, the axonal arbor was also asymmetrical, but often extended in the vertical (columnar) direction. These differences between NGFCs across cortical layers are also evident in the NGFC morphologies illustrated in a recent patch-seq study (Gouwens et al., 2020).

The remaining Id2 cells (~20% in L2/3 and ~10% in L4-5) had either an irregular or a bursting firing pattern during low to moderate depolarizations (Figure 3C–D and F, and Table 1) and narrower action potentials (Figure 3E). We also observed that a small minority of the non-LS Id2 cells in L2/3 (~15%) were likely α7 cells, a L1 Id2 IN subtype typically localized in the deeper part of L1, which has a bursting firing pattern that can be distinguished from other L2/3 bursting cells by the properties of the burst, significantly lower input resistance, and morphology (Figure 3—figure supplement 1; Schuman et al., 2019). The histological analysis showed that the majority (~80% in L2/3) of the non-NPY Id2 cells strongly express the neuropeptide CCK (Figure 2). CCK is expressed at varying levels by many types of cortical neurons, including GABAergic and glutamatergic cells; however, it is particularly high in a group of GABAergic interneurons known as CCK-CB1R interneurons or CCK basket cells that have been described in the hippocampus and L2/3 of the neocortex (Galarreta et al., 2004; Galarreta et al., 2008; Freund and Katona, 2007; Glickfeld and Scanziani, 2006; De May and Ali, 2013). Although much less abundant than other GABAergic interneurons in the neocortex, they are of special interest because of their unique synaptic properties (Glickfeld and Scanziani, 2006; Hefft and Jonas, 2005; Armstrong and Soltesz, 2012). In particular, these cells express CB1 cannabinoid receptors in their presynaptic terminals that mediate a phenomenon known as depolarization-induced suppression of inhibition (DSI) (Pitler and Alger, 1992; Wagner and Alger, 1996). Depolarization of a connected pyramidal cell leads to the release of endocannabinoids from the pyramidal cell that then bind to CB1 receptors located on the presynaptic terminals of the CCK basket cells, leading to suppression of GABA release (Wilson et al., 2001; Wilson and Nicoll, 2001; Ohno-Shosaku et al., 2001).

To test the hypothesis that non-LS Id2 neurons include CCK basket cells, we first examined the effect of depolarization of a pyramidal cell on the PSP generated on L2/3 PCs by light stimulation of Id2 neurons expressing the engineered channelrhodopsin variant CatCh (Id2-CreER; Dlx5/6-Flpe; Ai80; Figure 4A–C; Daigle et al., 2018; Kleinlogel et al., 2011). Depolarization of the PC reduced the synaptic response by ~20%, and this reduction was prevented by application of the CB1 receptor antagonist AM251 (Figure 4B–C) suggesting that some of the presynaptic cells innervating the cell had undergone DSI. In paired recordings of L2/3 LS Id2 cells and PCs, we found that the synaptic response elicited by NGFCs did not undergo DSI (n=9; Figure 4E). In contrast, in paired recordings of non-LS Id2 cells (of 46 nonLS-PC pairs tested, only 9 (20%) were connected), we observed DSI in three out of the five pairs tested (Figure 4E). Of the cells showing DSI, two were irregular spiking and one was bursting; of the two cells that did not show DSI, one was burst spiking and the other was a putative α7 cell. These results indicate that the partial suppression of GABA release observed when the whole population of Id2 cells is stimulated is occurring primarily on the terminals of the non-LS Id2 cells. Consistent with this, the proportion of the GABAergic response elicited by light activation of Id2 cells that was suppressed by depolarization of the post-synaptic PC is similar to the representation of non-LS cells in the L2/3 Id2 population. These observations, together with the molecular analysis, suggest that the majority of the non-LS Id2 cells are CCK basket cells. The morphology of IS and BS non-LS Id2 cells was similar, but quite distinct from the NGFCs, with significantly longer dendrites and a less symmetrical and much less dense axonal arborization (Figure 3C–D and Figure 3—figure supplement 1), consistent with the published morphologies of CCK basket cells in the neocortex (Galarreta et al., 2004; De May and Ali, 2013).

In vivo properties of Id2 INs

Although NGFCs are a substantial population of GABAergic INs, particularly in the superficial layers of the cortex (where they are slightly more abundant than SST INs), the lack of genetic strategies to study these cells has limited the characterization of their in vivo properties. Nevertheless, given their broad output connectivity, these neurons are likely to contribute significantly to inhibition throughout the cortical column. We utilized our intersectional genetics approach to express CatCh in Id2 INs (Id2-CreER; Dlx5/6-Flpe; Ai80; also see Figure 4) in order to optogenetically identify and stimulate these cells in multichannel silicon probe recordings in the posterior parietal cortex and V1 of freely moving and behaving animals (Figure 5A). Single units were isolated (n=571 units from 5 mice) and separated into putative pyramidal cells (PC), narrow waveform (NW) INs and wide waveform (WW) INs (Petersen et al., 2021). Id2 INs expressing CatCh were distinguished from other cells adjacent to the probes by measuring their firing rates in response to light stimulation (Figure 5B). Applying stringent filtering criteria (see Methods), we selected 11 Id2 INs that exhibited robustly increased firing following light stimulation for further analysis (Figure 5B–C). We then characterized the firing properties of these Id2 INs identified in vivo in relation to PCs and other INs. These Id2 INs exhibited WW characteristics, and were readily distinguishable from NW cells, previously identified as PV fast-spiking INs and some SST INs (Valero et al., 2021; Figure 5B and D). Consistent with this, these 11 Id2 INs had wider auto-correlograms than other PC and NW INs, similar to the overall WW group (Figure 5E). These results indicate that the previously described WW group (Petersen et al., 2021) includes an unknown proportion of Id2 INs.

In addition to the 11 WW Id2 INs described above, we also observed two light responsive Id2 INs with narrower waveform properties, although these cells did not pass the selection criteria for further analysis. We estimate that the majority of Id2 INs that could be identified by optotagging in our silicon probe experiments were located in deeper layers (~L3-5), where the proportion of Id2 cells that are NGFC is >90% (Figure 2). Thus, we tentatively conclude that the 11 Id2 WW INs we selected for analysis are NGFCs, and that the Id2 cells exhibiting narrower waveform properties are likely to be non-NGFC CCK +types.

The firing rates of PC, NW and WW neurons varied across behavioral states, typically showing lower activity during sleep (Figure 5F). In contrast, putative Id2 NGFC INs exhibited relatively consistent firing rates across all conditions, with moderately increased activity during REM sleep (Figure 5F). During NREM sleep, the cortex interleaves periods of high spiking activity (up-states) with transient silences (down-states) (Valero et al., 2021; Steriade et al., 1993). To gain insights into the nature of the firing dynamics of Id2 INs during sleep, we aligned the activity of all recorded neurons to the peak of the down-state (Figure 5G). Most of the neurons decreased their activity during down states, and steadily recovered their baseline activity after the down-state (post-down; Figure 5H). Putative Id2 NGFCs decreased their activity during down states to a similar extent as the other cell groups, but strongly increased their firing above baseline levels immediately following the termination of the down-state (Figure 5H, bottom;~4 s.d. above pre-down rate for Id2; 0.2, 0.6 and –0.03 for PC, NW and WW, respectively). This rebound in activity was observed in the majority of the putative Id2 NGFCs (Figure 5G, right; 64% of the Id2 NGFCs vs. 7%, 14% and 1% for the PC, NW, and WW interneurons, respectively; p<10^–10, chi-squared test) and was negatively correlated with the degree of firing suppression during down-states for the Id2 group (Figure 5I), suggesting that intrinsic membrane properties of the Id2 INs could be mediating, at least in part, their increased activity after down-states. No other neuron group showed a significant correlation between down and post-down state activity, notwithstanding the considerably bigger sample size (Figure 5I). Furthermore, Id2 INs fired at an early position during the up-states sequences (Figure 5J), as estimated by the normalized rank order during the detected up-state epochs (see Materials and methods).

Finally, to understand how Id2 IN activity impacts cortical circuit dynamics in vivo, we performed optogenetic stimulation of the Id2 IN population and analyzed which fraction of putative PC, NW, or WW were suppressed (neg mod in Figure 6A), activated (pos mod) or unchanged (no mod). Light stimulation resulted in a significant decrease in firing rate for about half of the population of all considered cell types (Figure 6A), consistent with the broad direct inhibition expected from NGFCs. PCs in the supra-granular layers were more frequently suppressed than deeper layer PCs, while both NW and WW INs showed the opposite trend across lamina. Interestingly, we also observed a slow positive activity modulation of a subset of INs, and to a lesser extent PCs, following stimulation of Id2 INs (Figure 6A; darker quantiles in Figure 6B–C). Positively modulated responses consistently lagged the negative responses (Figure 6B–D), suggesting an indirect disinhibitory mechanism for the positive responses. Overall, we find that the recruitment of Id2 INs leads to a wide range of response dynamics throughout the cortical column, including both inhibitory and to a lesser extent, relatively slower disinhibitory effects.

The use of molecular markers to classify subpopulations of cortical GABAergic interneurons (INs) has provided deep insights into IN diversity (Tremblay et al., 2016; Kawaguchi and Kubota, 1997; Petilla Interneuron Nomenclature et al., 2008; De Felipe et al., 2013), and has expanded in recent years with the advent of single-cell RNA sequencing methods to profile IN transcriptomes (Tasic et al., 2016; Tasic et al., 2018; Yao et al., 2021; Zeisel et al., 2015). Identification of differentially expressed genes has enhanced our ability to design and implement genetic strategies to label and experimentally manipulate defined populations of INs in order to understand their specialized functions in cortical circuitry. However, several critical issues have emerged from this body of work that require consideration. Differentially expressed genes that exhibit distinct labeling patterns as assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) or in situ hybridization (ISH) may also be expressed at lower levels in broader cell populations that escape detection with those methods. In transgenic animals expressing recombinases such as Cre, labeling strategies that utilize viral or genetically encoded Cre-dependent reporters typically reveal these additional populations due to the lower expression threshold required for labeling with these genetic methods compared to IHC or ISH. For example, expression of the marker CCK as assessed by IHC or ISH has been used to identify subsets of INs with relatively high levels of CCK, but the use of CCK-Cre with a genetic reporter results in much more extensive labeling of INs (Figure 1—figure supplement 4) as well as pyramidal cells.

Another important consideration is the developmental trajectory of marker gene expression, in that the adult expression pattern for a particular marker may be much more restricted than its cumulative expression. This appears to be the case for the marker 5HT3aR (Htr3a), where expression of EGFP from a BAC transgenic mouse line labels virtually all non-PV or SST INs (i.e. all the CGE-derived INs), a finding that led to the conclusion that PV, SST and 5HT3aR INs account for all the INs in the neocortex (Lee et al., 2010; Rudy et al., 2011). We compared labeling efficiencies obtained with a knock in Htr3a-Flpo line (Schuman et al., 2019) with that of an Htr3a(BAC)-Cre line (Gerfen et al., 2013) and the Htr3a(BAC)-EGFP line used by Lee et al., 2010, and found that two copies of the Htr3a-Flpo driver could largely recapitulate the cell labeling observed with the higher copy number BAC transgenic lines (Figure 1—figure supplement 5). This result, along with ISH images of Htr3a expression at embryonic and adult ages (e.g. Allen Brain Atlas) is consistent with broad but transient Htr3a expression in non-PV/non-SST INs that then becomes restricted to a subpopulation of these INs (Prönneke et al., 2020).

Use of BAC transgenics has turned out to be more complicated than expected since each transgenic founder harbors its own positional and copy number variation. The Htr3a(BAC)-EGFP founder line was specifically chosen over others for high levels of EGFP expression. In hindsight, this likely contributed to its pan-CGE IN expression pattern, whereas endogenous Htr3a expression appears to be broad but transient in most CGE INs following their specification, being largely restricted to VIP/CCK and Sncg IN subtypes at adult ages. In contrast to the Htr3a(BAC)-EGFP line, the Htr3a(BAC)-Cre founder was selected based on its cumulative recombination pattern with the cre-dependent tdTomato reporter Ai9, and likely has a much lower copy number or genomic insertion location that results in its expression being closer to the endogenous Htr3a gene. The Htr3a-Flpo line is a single copy knock in whose cumulative labeling with the tdTomato reporter Ai65F is less efficient overall than that seen with either BAC transgenic line, most likely due to the lower/transient expression of Flpo in most CGE INs.

Leveraging the scRNAseq resources provided by the Allen Institute (Tasic et al., 2016), we identified Id2 as a marker for the vast majority of the INs that do not express PV, SST, or VIP. While Id2 is also expressed in pyramidal neurons and several non-neuronal cell types, we employed intersectional genetics with a pan-IN driver (Dlx5/6-Flpe) to restrict labeling to Id2 INs. This labeling approach relies on the use of an Id2-CreER driver, which has its own pros and cons: tamoxifen induction of cre activity in Id2 cells in P21 or older animals avoids spurious cell labeling arising from developmental Id2 expression, but the efficiency of CreER-mediated recombination can be highly variable from animal to animal depending on the effectiveness of tamoxifen administration. Overall, in well-labeled brains, we found that Id2 INs comprised ~18% of the total IN population in S1BF, which is consistent with our previous estimates for the prevalence of non-PV/non-SST/non-VIP INs (Tremblay et al., 2016). In L1, a layer consisting only of GABAergic INs, we previously identified three distinct subpopulations of non-PV/non-SST/non-VIP INs: NGFCs, canopy cells, and α7 cells, which together accounted for ~90% of the neurons in this layer, with the remaining 10% consisting of VIP INs (Schuman et al., 2019). Using our Id2 intersectional genetic strategy, we find that 83% of L1 INs are labeled (Figure 1E), close to the expected 90% of non-PV/non-SST/non-VIP INs, suggesting that all non-VIP INs in L1 are Id2 cells.

In L2-5, we find that Id2 INs are mostly comprised of NGFCs (~87%), with the remainder consisting of a diverse CCK +IN population. While to date NGFCs have mainly been recorded in superficial layers (L1-3), here we observe that NGFCs are present in all layers, including deep layers, but are enriched in L2/3. On the other hand, CCK +INs are mainly located in superficial L2/3 along the border with L1 and in L6. As previously shown for the 5HT3aR INs (Tremblay et al., 2016), compared to L4-5, the proportion of Id2 INs increases in L6, where this group accounts for about 15% of all INs (Figure 1). Within the L6 Id2 population, about 60% were NPY+ (putative NGFCs), and about 25% were strongly CCK+, with about 10% unaccounted for (Figure 2). Within the Id2 NGFC in L6, a subset originates from the MGE (i.e., Nkx2.1 lineage) and exhibit a striking anti-correlated activity pattern, with peak activity during cortical down-states (Valero et al., 2021). We did not observe down-state active cells in our Id2 IN recordings (Figure 5G), indicating that NGFCs of CGE origin (the majority of cortical NGFCs) behave in a distinct manner in vivo. Thus, like L1, L6 is a specialized case that merits its own study to elucidate the diverse IN species that reside there.

The massive scale of a recent transcriptomic cell type survey from the Allen Institute (Yao et al., 2021) offers an unprecedented look at neocortical and hippocampal IN diversity, and presents the opportunity to assess the expression profile of specific genes across all IN types. Focusing on the ‘CGE’ branch of interneurons, we find that Id2 expression largely encompasses the ‘Lamp5’ and ‘Sncg’ branches of their online dendrogram (Figure 1—figure supplement 1). However, it is important to note that neither Lamp5 or Sncg are uniformly expressed across the different subtypes in their respective branches. In the case of Sncg, many of the CCK +subtypes within that branch express low if any Sncg mRNA itself (e.g. within the Serpinf1 sub-branch). Furthermore, there is substantial overlap with VIP in the Sncg population overall (~50% of cells), but this VIP/Sncg population does not appear to be well labeled using our Id2 strategy (Figure 1—figure supplement 3), likely due to the lower levels of Id2 in these cells (Figure 1—figure supplement 1). The recent development of new drivers for Lamp5 (Lamp5-Flpo; Jax #037340) and Sncg (Sncg-Flpo; Jax#034424) (Dudok et al., 2021) will enable new transgenic targeting approaches for these respective IN populations, but the breadth and specificity of labeling achieved with these new driver lines remain to be determined. Future work will hopefully resolve how this relatively sparse but remarkably diverse CCK +IN population functions within the cortex, and whether some of these cells might relate to primate-specific CCK +IN types such as the rosehip cell (Boldog et al., 2018).

The genetic strategies described here have also facilitated the in vivo recording of NGFCs. Outside of L1, where NGFCs express NDNF, a gene that has been used to facilitate the identification and in vivo recording of these neurons (Cohen-Kashi Malina et al., 2021; Ibrahim et al., 2021; Abs et al., 2018; Hay et al., 2021), recording of NGFCs has been limited to blind recordings followed by post-hoc identification (Sakalar et al., 2022; Fuentealba et al., 2010; Klausberger et al., 2003), a very low yield approach. Here, we combined optogenetic labeling via Id2 intersectional genetics with silicon probe recordings to identify putative NGFCs in vivo (Figure 5). We identified 11 Id2 INs located approximately in L3-5 where the vast majority (>90%) of Id2 INs are NGFCs, as defined by histology and electrophysiology (2—4). We found that these putative NGFCs have a number of unique properties, including relatively constant firing rates throughout different brain states and a strong rebound in activity immediately following the down-state during NREM sleep. We also found that optogenetic stimulation of Id2 INs produced broad inhibition of PCs and other INs, with roughly half of all cells across cortical layers exhibiting a decrease in activity. The notable rebound in NGFC activity following the down-state, together with the extensive output connectivity of these neurons, suggests an important role for this form of GABAergic inhibition in setting the stage for new incoming information during bouts of cortical activity. Future work will certainly continue to elucidate the function of this distinctive GABAergic cell type in regulating cortical circuitry.
