Preferred Label : dentate gyrus;
MeSH definition : 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.;
