The enigmatic mossy cell of the dentate gyrus

Nature Reviews Neuroscience 17, 562 (2016). doi:10.1038/nrn.2016.87 Author: Helen E. Scharfman Mossy cells comprise a large fraction of the cells in the hippocampal dentate gyrus, suggesting that their function in this region is important. They are vulnerable to ischaemia, traumatic brain injury and seizures, and their loss could contribute to dentate gyrus dysfunction in such conditions.
