Abstract
Basket cells of the dentate gyrus were identified using Nissl/cresyl violet staining. The ratio between basket and granule cells is 1:150-210. Only a few glial cells, mainly astroglia, were found in the granular layer of the dentate gyrus. The granule cells and glial cells originate mainly postnatally, but the basket cells, like the pyramidal cells of the hippocampus, originate prenatally.
