Region of the hippocampus in the brain
The dentate gyrus (DG ) is one of the subfields of the hippocampus , in the hippocampal formation . The hippocampal formation is located in the temporal lobe of the brain , and includes the hippocampus (including CA1 to CA4) subfields, and other subfields including the dentate gyrus, subiculum , and presubiculum .[ 1] [ 2]
The dentate gyrus is part of the trisynaptic circuit , a neural circuit of the hippocampus, thought to contribute to the formation of new episodic memories ,[ 3] [ 4] the spontaneous exploration of novel environments[ 4] and other functions.[ 5] The dentate gyrus has toothlike projections from which it is named.[ 6]
The subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus is one of only two major sites of adult neurogenesis in the brain, and is found in many mammals .[ 7] The other main site is the subventricular zone in the ventricular system . Other sites may include the striatum and the cerebellum .[ 8] [ 9] However, whether significant neurogenesis takes place in the adult human dentate gyrus has been a matter of debate.[ 10] [ 11] [ 12] [ 2] [ 13]
