MeSH Heading: Dentate Gyrus
Tree Number(s): A08.186.211.180.405.200; A08.186.211.200.885.287.500.345.200
Unique ID: D018891
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018891
Scope Note: GRAY MATTER situated above the GYRUS HIPPOCAMPI. It is composed of three layers. The molecular layer is continuous with the HIPPOCAMPUS in the hippocampal fissure. The granular layer consists of closely arranged spherical or oval neurons, called GRANULE CELLS, whose AXONS pass through the polymorphic layer ending on the DENDRITES of PYRAMIDAL CELLS in the hippocampus.
Entry Term(s): Area Dentata; CA4 Field of Hippocampal Formation; CA4 Region, Hippocampal; CA4 of Lorente de No; Cornu Ammonis 4 Area; Dentate Fascia; Fascia Dentata; Gyrus Dentatus; Hilus Gyri Dentati; Hilus of Dentate Gyrus; Hilus of the Fascia Dentata; Hippocampal CA4 Field; Hippocampal Sector CA4
