Show abstract
Semilunar Granule Cells (SGCs) are sparse dentate gyrus projection neurons whose role in the dentate circuit, including pathway specific inputs, remains unknown. We report that SGCs receive more frequent spontaneous excitatory synaptic inputs than granule cells (GCs). Dual GC-SGC recordings identified that SGCs receive stronger medial entorhinal cortex and associational synaptic drive but lack short-term facilitation of lateral entorhinal cortex inputs observed in GCs. SGCs dendritic spine density in proximal and middle dendrites was greater than in GCs. However, the strength of commissural inputs and dendritic input integration, examined in passive morphometric simulations, were not different between cell types. Activity dependent labeling identified an overrepresentation of SGCs among neuronal ensembles in both mice trained in a spatial memory task and task naive controls. The divergence of modality specific inputs to SGCs and GCs can enable parallel processing of information streams and expand the computational capacity of the dentate gyrus.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
