“…Brains were sliced in the horizontal plane for hippocampal recordings or the coronal plane for neocortical recordings as previously described ( Winterer et al, 2019 ; Beerens et al, 2021 ). NPY cells were recorded from superficial layers [layer 1 (L1)-L2] of the AC and SLM of the CA3 in ACSF using standard potassium gluconate solutions [for the sequencing experiments: ACSF: 126 m m NaCl, 2.5 m m KCl, 10 m m glucose, 1.25 m m NaH 2 PO 4 , 2 m m MgCl 2 , 2 m m CaCl 2 , and 26 m m NaHCO 3 ; intracellular solution: 95 m m potassium gluconate, 50 m m KCl, 10 m m HEPES, 4 m m Mg-ATP, 0.5 m m Na-GTP, and 10 m m phosphocreatine; pH 7.2, KOH-adjusted, 300 mOsm ( Winterer et al, 2019 ), and for the pharmacological experiments: ACSF: 115 m m NaCl, 25 m m NaHCO 3 , 3 m m KCl, 1.25 m m NaH 2 PO 4 , 2 m m CaCl 2 , 1 m m MgCl 2 , 3 m m sodium pyruvate, and 10 m m glucose; intracellular solution 125 m m potassium gluconate, 10 m m HEPES, 6 m m KCl, 0.2 m m EGTA, 2 m m MgCl 2 , 2 m m Na-ATP, 0.5 m m Na-GTP, and 5 m m sodium phosphocreatine ( Beerens et al, 2021 )].…”
