Hippocampal regions, strata, and neurogenesis. a Diagram of the major divisions of the hippocampus. Red box shows region depicted in B. Yellow box shows region depicted in C. b Image of Golgi-Cox stained hippocampal CA1 neurons from OVX female mouse, captured using 10x objective. Stratum oriens ~40-60% the length of basal dendrite. Stratum radiatum ~30-50% the length of the apical dendrite. Lacunosum-moleculare ~80-100% the length of the apical dendrite. c Diagram depicting the stages of adult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus. DG, dentate gyrus; SO, stratum oriens; SR, stratum radiatum; LM, (stratum) lacunosum-moleculare
