gyrus neurons began sending out electrical signals, which, according to Tonegawa, suggests they were «distinguishing [between] and forming different memories.»
It receives information via the so - called mossy fibres (MF), which originate in dentate
gyrus neurons and, together with pyramidal neurons, form synapses in CA3; in this case MF - CA3 - synapses.

neurons in a brain region called the dentate
gyrus, part of the hippocampus — an area that plays an important role in acquiring new memories.

gyrus.
Overstreet - Wadiche and UAB colleagues posed a basic question: Since the number of
neurons in the dentate
gyrus increases by neurogenesis while the number of
neurons in the cortex remains the same, does the brain create additional synapses from the cortical
neurons to the new granule cells, or do some cortical
neurons transfer their connections from mature granule cells to the new granule cells?
The dentate
gyrus is one of just two areas in the brain where new
neurons are continuously formed in adults.
This opens the door to look at how this redistribution of synapses between the old and new
neurons helps the dentate
gyrus function.

neurons in the dentate
gyrus, a sliver of hippocampus thought to encode memories.

neuron is made in the dentate
gyrus, it needs to get «wired in,» by forming synapses, or connections, in order to contribute to circuit function.
For the first 5 years, Spalding worked on finding an effective way of separating the roughly 20 million
neurons in the dentate
gyrus from other types of hippocampal cells and then extracting their DNA.
«This is a spectacular independent confirmation» of the 1998 study suggesting that new
neurons are born during adulthood in the dentate
gyrus, writes Gerd Kempermann, a neuroscientist at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases in Dresden, in an e-mail.
But she had to improve the sensitivity of the technique so that it could detect the isotopic ratio in DNA from the roughly 6 - gram sliver of neural tissue in the hippocampus thought to produce new
neurons, the dentate
gyrus.
By looking at the hippocampus in 55 post-mortem brains aged between 19 and 92, Frisén's team found that a subset of
neurons in an area of the hippocampus called the dentate
gyrus are indeed created throughout adulthood (Cell, doi.org/ms8).
The
neurons, they found, were located in the dentate
gyrus, part of the hippocampus.
The dentate
gyrus has previously been implicated in the formation of memories, and is one of the areas of the brain with the most new
neuron generation during adulthood.

gyrus.
Waning production of
neurons and an overall shrinking of the dentate

Specifically, it appears that in
neurons of the CA1 and dentate
gyrus, these oscillations result from an interplay of dendritic excitation via a persistent sodium current (INaP) with perisomatic inhibition (Buzsáki, 2002).
