Different surface areas between the proximal and distal parts of CA3 due to 3d morphology of the layer. Due to the cone-like shape of the CA3 layer (the same applies for CA1), the septo-temporal axis on the proximal side is shorter than on the distal side. Given a homogeneous distribution of neurons, the distal part hosts more neurons than the proximal part.
