GRANULE CELLS
Smallest diameter neurons (5-6 um with 3-6 short dendrites ending in a claw to make multiple synapses on different mossy fiber afferents.
Thin axons ascend to the molecular layer synapsing with PC dendrites on the way into the molecular layer. These axons forming a âTâ shaped division in the moleular layer with each one following the folium in oppositi directions.
30-40 granule cells synapse on each mossy fiber bouton.
