“…Here, our data not only complements gene expression studies (Bienkowski et al, 2018; Cembrowski et al, 2016; H. W. Dong et al, 2009; Lein et al, 2007; Thompson et al, 2008), but shows neurochemical heterogeneity in line with different functional connectivity along the dorsal‐ventral axis (Anacker & Hen, 2017; Bannerman et al, 2014; Bast, Wilson, Witter, & Morris, 2009; Kheirbek et al, 2013; Lee, Kim, Cho, Kim, & Park, 2017; Moser & Moser, 1998; Strange et al, 2014). Further, our findings of different as well as indifferent (co‐) distributions of specific neurotransmitter receptors along the dorsal‐ventral axis may offer a link between the dichotomy of functionally segregated subfields with precise borders on the one hand and a more gradual organization of processing functions on the other and show that both views are not exclusive (Bast et al, 2009; Brun et al, 2008; Lee, Rao, & Knierim, 2004; Leutgeb, Leutgeb, Moser, & Moser, 2005; Leutgeb, Leutgeb, Moser, & Moser, 2007; McHugh et al, 2007; Neunuebel & Knierim, 2014; Strange et al, 2014; Vogel et al, 2020). Despite ubiquitous glutamatergic and GABAergic inputs to all hippocampal subdivisions (Amaral et al, 2007; Freund & Buzsáki, 1996; Klausberger, 2009; Klausberger & Somogyi, 2008; Kouvaros & Papatheodoropoulos, 2016) we could separate dorsal, intermediate and ventral subdivisions by disseminative quantities of AMPA, Kainate, NMDA, mGlu 2/3 , GABA A , and GABA A(BZ) binding sites, likely reflecting different types of cells and/or cellular properties in these areas in addition to different outputs to other cortical and subcortical areas as well as intra‐hippocampal connectivity (Besnard, Miller, & Sahay, 2020; Bienkowski et al, 2018; Cembrowski et al, 2016; Nakashiba, Young, McHugh, Buhl, & Tonegawa, 2008; Nakazawa, McHugh, Wilson, & Tonegawa, 2004; Scharfman & Myers, 2012; Wheeler et al, 2015; Witter & Amaral, 2004).…”
