Interaction of inputs in hippocampal granule cells with inhibitory connections

The hippocampus integrates non-spatial information (such as objects and odors) and spatial information (places). The dentate gyrus is the gate for inputinformation to the hippocampus. Non-spatial information and spatial information are independently transported from the entorhinal cortices to separa...
