Structural features of mossy cells in the hamster dentate gyrus, with special reference to somatic thorny excrescences
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We have recently revealed that large multipolar neurons, presumed mossy cells in the hamster dentate gyrus (DG), were calretinin (CR)-immunoreactive (IR) at the ventral level, although these neurons were CR-negative at the dorsal level. In the present study, we confirmed this identification with several methods and analyzed structural features of hamster mossy cells in detail. Golgi impregnationi and intracellular Lucifer yellow labeling studies revealed that mossy cells in the hamster dentate hilus had extraordinarily prominent thorny excrescences on their somata as well as on their proximal dendrites. Mossy cells exhibited dorsoventral differences in their structural features; proximal dendrites of single mossy cells were fewer, and thorny excrescences were larger and more complicated at the dorsal level than at the ventral level. Electron microscopic serial section three-dimensional reconstructions revealed that somatic thorny excrescences consisted of large and complicated spines, which received numerous asymmetrical synapses from mossy fiber terminals. In addition, our confocal laser scanning microscopic observations also revealed many glutamic acid decarboxylase-immunoreactive punctae abutting the mossy cell somata and dendrites. Our present and previous observations revealed the structural features of hamster mossy cells and their differences along the dorsoventral axis and further indicated that mossy cells were prominently different in their chemical and morphological features among species.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
