    Dentate gyrus

    The dentate gyrus is part of the hippocampus and acts as its "input station." It receives various sensory inputs from the cortex (cerebral cortex) via the entorhinal cortex. Its densely packed granule cells, which are found in the so-called granular layer, project almost exclusively to the CA3 region of the hippocampus.
