Parvalbumin-immunoreactive (Parv+) interneurons is an important component of striatal GABAergic microcircuits, which receive excitatory inputs from the cortex and thalamus, and then target striatal projection neurons. The present study aimed to examine ultrastructural synaptic connection features of Parv+ neruons with cortical and thalamic input, and striatal projection neurons by using immuno-electron microscopy (immuno-EM) and immunofluorescence techniques. Our results showed that both Parv+ somas and dendrites received numerous asymmetric synaptic inputs, and Parv+ terminals formed symmetric synapses with Parv- somas, dendrites and spine bases. Most interestingly, spine bases targeted by Parv+ terminals simultaneously received excitatory inputs at their heads. Electrical stimulation of the motor cortex (M1) induced higher proportion of striatal Parv+ neurons express c-Jun than stimulation of the parafascicular nucleus (PFN), and indicated that cortical- and thalamic-inputs differentially modulate Parv+ neurons. Consistent with that, both Parv + soma and dendrites received more VGlut1+ than VGlut2+ terminals. However, the proportion of VGlut1+ terminal targeting onto Parv+ proximal and distal dendrites was not different, but VGlut2+ terminals tended to target Parv+ somas and proximal dendrites than distal dendrites. These functional and morphological results suggested excitatory cortical and thalamic glutamatergic inputs differently modulate Parv+ interneurons, which provided inhibition inputs onto striatal projection neurons. To maintain the balance between the cortex and thalamus onto Parv+ interneurons may be an important therapeutic target for neurological disorders.
