  text: Hippocampal CA3 pyramidal neurons (PNs) form the largest autoassociative network
    in the mammalian brain. Whether CA3–CA3 recurrent connectivity is genetically
    preconfigured or environmentally shaped during ongoing memory storage is currently
    unknown. To address this question, we performed multicellular patch-clamp-based
    circuit mapping of up to eight CA3 PNs in the mouse hippocampus at multiple postnatal
    time points (P7–8, P18–25, and P45–50). Here, we show that the hippocampal CA3
    network undergoes a developmental transformation from local, dense, and random
    connectivity to a distributed, sparse, and structured configuration. Thus, sparse
    and structured connectivity may emerge via experience-dependent mechanisms. In
    parallel, the strength of single synapses is downregulated; single synaptic events
    are sufficient to trigger postsynaptic spiking early in development, whereas spatial
    summation of several inputs is required at later time points. Biologically inspired
    models of memory storage by Hebbian synaptic plasticity and retrieval via pattern
    completion suggest that developmental changes improve specific aspects of memory
    storage and retrieval. Our results imply a developmental transformation of the
    neuronal code and the memory functions in the hippocampal CA3 network.</jats:p>

  text: 'Our brain has remarkable computational power, generating sophisticated behaviors,
    storing memories over an individual’s lifetime, and producing higher cognitive
    functions. However, little of our neuroscience knowledge covers the human brain.
    Is this organ truly unique, or is it a scaled version of the extensively studied
    rodent brain? Combining multicellular patch-clamp recording with expansion-based
    superresolution microscopy and full-scale modeling, we determined the cellular
    and microcircuit properties of the human hippocampal CA3 region, a fundamental
    circuit for memory storage. In contrast to neocortical networks, human hippocampal
    CA3 displayed sparse connectivity, providing a circuit architecture that maximizes
    associational power. Human synapses showed unique reliability, high precision,
    and long integration times, exhibiting both species- and circuit-specific properties.
    Together with expanded neuronal numbers, these circuit characteristics greatly
    enhanced the memory storage capacity of CA3. Our results reveal distinct microcircuit
    properties of the human hippocampus and begin to unravel the inner workings of
    our most complex organ. '

  ISTA, and we are grateful for assistance from Christoph Sommer and the Imaging and
  Optics Facility, Preclinical Facility, Lab Support Facility, Miba Machine Shop,
  and Scientific Computing. We are particularly grateful to the patient donors for
  their support of this project and also acknowledge the excellent support of the
  Medical University of Vienna Department of Neurosurgery staff; Romana Hoeftberger
  and the Division of Neuropathology and Neurochemistry; Gregor Kasprian and the Division
  of Neuroradiology and Musculoskeletal Radiology; and Christoph Baumgartner, Martha
  Feucht, and Ekaterina Pataraia for their clinical care of the patients included
  in this study. We thank Laura Jonkman, the NABCA biobank, and postmortem brain sample
  donors for their support of this research. The project received funding from the
  European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research
  and innovation programme (advanced grant no. 692692 to P.J. and Marie Skłodowska-Curie
  Actions Individual Fellowship no. 101026635 to J.F.W.), the Austrian Science Fund
  (FWF; grant PAT 4178023 to P.J. and grant DK W1232 to M.R.T. and J.G.D.), the Austrian
  Academy of Sciences (DOC fellowship 26137 to M.R.T.), and a NOMIS-ISTA fellowship
  (to A.N.-O.).
