Show abstract
The dentate gyrus (DG) is a key hippocampal gateway for cognition and emotion and a major site of adult neurogenesis, yet its organization along the transverse (suprapyramidal- infrapyramidal) axis remains poorly understood. Here, by integrating bulk RNA sequencing of microdissected mouse DG blades with spatial transcriptomics and single-nucleus RNA sequencing, we define the suprapyramidal and infrapyramidal blades (SB and IB) as distinct molecular compartments characterized by anterior-posterior-dependent gene expression programs. Functionally, the SB exhibits enhanced neurogenic activity, particularly in the anterior DG, including increased progenitor proliferation and neuronal differentiation, whereas the IB contains a larger pool of quiescent neural stem cells. Together, these findings reveal molecular and functional specialization along both transverse and longitudinal axes of the DG and provide a framework for interrogating hippocampal subregional organization in health and disease.

"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.
