Dentate gyrus mossy cell

• Synonym: Mossy cell

• Key References: Patton & McNaughton Hippocampus 1995 (PMID: 8589792)

• Note: The characteristics provided for this cell class are based on the most abundant data in the field, which are from young adult rats. There could be species-specific, age-specific, and even gender-specific differences. For example, monkey and rat differ in cytoarchitectonic structure and quantitative cell morphology.
