What are the Cellular Layers of the Dentate Gyrus?
The dentate gyrus consists of three primary layers:
1. Molecular Layer: This outermost layer contains mostly dendrites from the granule cells and axons from the entorhinal cortex. 2. Granule Cell Layer: This middle layer is densely packed with granule cells, which are the principal excitatory neurons of the dentate gyrus. 3. Polymorphic Layer (Hilus): The innermost layer contains a mix of various cell types, including mossy cells and interneurons.
