Selection of distinct populations of dentate granule cells in response to inputs as a mechanism for pattern separation in mice

The hippocampus is critical for episodic memory and computational studies have predicted specific functions for each hippocampal subregion. Particularly, the dentate gyrus (DG) is hypothesized to perform pattern separation by forming distinct representations of similar inputs. How pattern separation...
