Non-homogeneous stereological properties of the rat hippocampus from high-resolution 3D serial reconstruction of thin histological sections

▶Novel integration of hippocampal anatomy from dendritic arbors to whole system. ▶Non-homogeneous volume and dendritic occupancy in DG, CA3/CA1 subregions and layers. ▶CA3/CA1 volumetric ratio increased septo-temporally because of a specific change in s.r. ▶Probability of dendrodendritic collision significantly correlated with DSCAM. ▶Complements non-uniform molecular and functional properties of the hippocampus.
