Dentate gyrus and spatial behaviour
This article reviews evidence from studies employing colchicine-induced granule cell loss in the adult rat brain, and irradiation-induced hypoplasia of the neonatal dentate gyrus, on the performance of spatial and non-spatial behavioral tasks. The general picture emerging from this analysis reveals that the dentate gyrus granule cells are critically ...

How informative are spatial CA3 representations established by the dentate gyrus? [PDF]
In the mammalian hippocampus, the dentate gyrus (DG) is characterized by sparse and powerful unidirectional projections to CA3 pyramidal cells, the so-called mossy fibers. Mossy fiber synapses appear to duplicate, in terms of the information they convey, what CA3 cells already receive from entorhinal cortex layer II cells, which project both to the ...

Population and Individual Firing Behaviors in Sparsely Synchronized Rhythms in The Hippocampal Dentate Gyrus [PDF]
We investigate population and individual firing behaviors in sparsely synchronized rhythms (SSRs) in a spiking neural network of the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). The main encoding granule cells (GCs) are grouped into lamellar clusters. In each GC cluster, there is one inhibitory (I) basket cell (BC) along with excitatory (E) GCs, and they form the E-

Disynaptic Effect of Hilar Cells on Pattern Separation in A Spiking Neural Network of Hippocampal Dentate Gyrus [PDF]
We investigate disynaptic effect of the hilar cells on pattern separation in a spiking neural network of the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). The principal granule cells (GCs) in the DG perform pattern separation, transforming similar input patterns into less-similar output patterns. The hilus consists of excitatory mossy cells (MCs) and inhibitory HIPP

Modelling hippocampal neurogenesis across the lifespan in seven species [PDF]
The aim of this study was to estimate the number of new cells and neurons added to the dentate gyrus across the lifespan, and to compare the rate of age-associated decline in neurogenesis across species. Data from mice (Mus musculus), rats (Rattus norvegicus), lesser hedgehog tenrecs (Echinops telfairi), macaques (Macaca mulatta), marmosets (Callithrix

Effect of Adult-Born Immature Granule Cells on Pattern Separation in The Hippocampal Dentate Gyrus [PDF]
Young immature granule cells (imGCs) appear via adult neurogenesis in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). In comparison to mature GCs (mGCs) (born during development), the imGCs exhibit two competing distinct properties such as high excitability and low excitatory innervation. We develop a spiking neural network for the DG, incorporating the imGCs, and

An atlas of the heterogeneous viscoelastic brain with local power-law attenuation synthesised using Prony-series [PDF]
This review addresses the acute need to acknowledge the mechanical heterogeneity of brain matter and to accurately calibrate its local viscoelastic material properties accordingly. Specifically, it is important to compile the existing and disparate literature on attenuation power laws and dispersion to make progress in wave physics of brain matter, a ...

Evolution of the mammalian dentate gyrus [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe dentate gyrus (DG), a part of the hippocampal formation, has important functions in learning, memory, and adult neurogenesis. Compared with homologous areas in sauropsids (birds and reptiles), the mammalian DG is larger and exhibits qualitatively different phenotypes: 1) folded (C‐ or V‐shaped) granule neuron layer, concave toward the hilus
