a

VIP-LRP INs target both PCs and INs in the subiculum61 and thus, strictly speaking, these cells can only be considered interneuron-specific within CA1.

b

Based on the available literature, it is unclear whether these CCK-expressing BCs belong to the VIP or VGlut3-expressing group.

c

Postsynaptic targets in the subiculum included PV-, CB-, CR-, NECAB1-, CCK- and Reelin-expressing IN, among others.

d

The majority of postsynaptic somata was found in the pyramidal cell layer. Fractions of postsynaptic somata expressing PV: 44%, CB: 22%, CR: 18%, SOM: 9%, CCK: 4%, VIP: 3%.

e

Medial septum GABAergic neurons were labeled using Dlx5/6-Cre transgenic mice and Cre-dependent viral constructs.

f

Prefrontal cortex GABAergic neurons were labeled using Dlxi12b-Cre transgenic mice and Cre-dependent viral constructs.
