Section I: Functional Organization and Development -- Section II: Cellular Analyses -- Section III: Neurotransmitters and Neuromodulators -- Section IV: Plasticity -- Section V: The Dentate Gyrus Network -- Section VI: The Dentate Gyrus in Aging and Disease.

Summary: The dentate gyrus is a part of the brain that has been a topic of intense interest since the beginning of neuroscience, and pioneering studies from the distant and recent past attest to this. One of the reasons for such interest is that this structure provides some of the most remarkable examples of plasticity within the nervous system. In addition, it is critical to normal cognitive function, although exactly how and when is still a question that eludes answers. Furthermore, abnormalities within the dentate gyrus appear to play a role in diverse clinical conditions, from depression to epile.
