Abstract
The septum is a key structure at the core of the forebrain that integrates inputs and relays information to other brain areas to support cognition and behaviours such as feeding and locomotion. Underlying these functions is a rich diversity of neuronal types and an intricate complexity of wiring across and within the septal region. We currently have very little understanding of how septal neuronal diversity emerges during development. Using transgenic mice expressing Cre in different subsets of telencephalic precursors we explored the origins of the three main neuronal types of the septal complex: GABAergic, cholinergic and glutamatergic neurons. We find that septal neurons originate from distinct neuroepithelial domains of the developing septum and are born at different embryonic time points. An exception to this is the GABAergic medial septal Parvalbumin-expressing population which is generated outside the septum from surrounding germinal zones. We identify the transcription factor BSX as being expressed in the developing glutamatergic neuron population. Embryonic elimination of BSX in the septum results in a reduction of septal glutamatergic cell numbers and a consequent deficit in locomotion. Further refinement of septal neuron diversity is needed to understand the multiple roles of septal neurons and their contribution to distinct behaviours.
