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 in the hippocampus. [MeSH];
