Simplified schematic of the experiments and the results presented by Shetty et al. (2005). A, In an intact hippocampus, the axons of dentate gyrus cells, or mossyfibers, project heavily to CA3 pyramidal cells. B, After an injection of KA, mossyfibers sprout into supragranular layer, where some axonal collaterals form potentially epileptogenic excitatory connections with granule cells. Aberrant mossy fiber sprouting recedes after transplants containing CA3 (C), but not CA1 (D), neurons.
