Large cells of the hilus are not always mossy cells. (A) A physiologically-identified fast-spiking cell with a basket cell axon, located at the border of the granule cell layer and the hilus. Arrows point to the axon. Arrowheads point to spines. Note the large size of the cell body. Calibration = 30 μm (A1); 15 μm (A2). From Scharfman (1995a). (B) A physiologically-identified GABAergic neuron located in the deep hilus near area CA3c with a large cell body. Same calibration as (A). (C) A neuron with dense spines all over its dendrites, with physiological characteristics that were not possible to discriminate from mossy cells with large thorny excrescences. This neuron was filled with Lucifer yellow and located on the border of the subgranular zone and the deep hilus. Same calibration as (A). From Scharfman (1993a).
