Models that contain the Neuron : Dentate granule cell

(The principal neuron of the fascia dentata of the hippocampal region. It forms a single layer of cell bodies. Each cell has a dendritic tree that extends toward the surface. The branches are covered with dendritic spines. The input is carried by axons which arise in the nearby entorinal cortex and "perforate" the intervening cortex to make excitatory glutamatergic synapses onto the spines. The output is carried in an axon which becomes a mossy fiber as it arrives in CA3 and CA2 of the hippocampus to make glutamatergic synapes onto the spinous excrecenses of hippocampal pyramidal cells in those regions.)
