By priming brain circuits, associations between low-salience stimuli often guide
future behavioral choices through a process known as mediated or inferred
learning. However, the precise neurobiological mechanisms of these incidental
associations are largely unknown. Using sensory preconditioning procedures, we
show that type 1 cannabinoid receptors (CB1R) in hippocampal GABAergic neurons
are necessary and sufficient for mediated but not direct learning. Deletion and
re-expression of CB1R in hippocampal GABAergic neurons abolishes and rescues
mediated learning, respectively. Interestingly, paired presentations of
low-salience sensory cues induce a specific protein synthesis-dependent
enhancement of hippocampal CB1R expression and facilitate long-term synaptic
plasticity at inhibitory synapses. CB1R blockade or chemogenetic manipulations of
hippocampal GABAergic neurons upon preconditioning affect incidental
associations, as revealed by impaired mediated learning. Thus, CB1R-dependent
control of inhibitory hippocampal neurotransmission mediates incidental
associations, allowing future associative inference, a fundamental process for
everyday life, which is altered in major neuropsychiatric diseases. VIDEO
