Category:Hippocampus CA3 axo-axonic cell

Name:	Hippocampus CA3 axo-axonic cell
Definition:	CA3 Chandelier cells of the hippocampus are very similar to those in the dentate gyrus. The cell bodies are located within or immediately adjacent to the pyramidal cell layer and possess radially oriented dendrites spanning all layers. According to the distribution of the dendritic tree, chandelier cells are in a position to receive excitatory input from all major sources of afferents in both the CA1 and CA3 subfields.
Synonym(s):	CA3 chandelier cell
