Name: Dentate gyrus IS-II cell
Definition: The IS (Interneuron-Specific) subpopulation of interneurons have axons that exclusively innervate other interneurons. The Dentate Gyrus IS-II class interneurons are visualized by immunostaining for Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide (VIP). The dendrites of Dentate gyrus IS-II cells are present in all layers of Dentate gyrus.
Synonym(s): DG Interneruon-specific II cell
Is part of : Predominantly gray regional part of dentate gyrus
Abbreviation DG IS-II
Super-category: neuron
Defining citation: Page 58. Andersen et al. "The Hippocampus Book" 2007; Freund & Buzsaki 1996 p374 p418, PMID 8915675
