The values of quantal content (m) and quantal amplitude (q) of excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) elicited in CA3 neurons by activation of granule cells were estimated in thin hippocampal sections maintained in vitro. For this purpose, DL-homocysteate was administered to granule cells, and t

✦ Synopsis
The dentate fascia of the hippocampus was studied in 25 infants with pontosubicular necrosis and in 21 control cases without hypoxic cerebral lesions. Of the control cases 19 were completely normal and 2 showed one single necrotic cell in the granule cell layer. In contrast 15 of the cases with pontosubicular necrosis showed varying degrees of neuronal karyorrhexis in the dentate fascia. The severity of these changes largely parallelled those in the subiculum but there were exceptions to this rule. It is concluded that the dentate fascia is frequently involved in pontosubicular necrosis.
