Morphology: Freund and Buzsaki, 1996; Hillman,
1979, Mott et al., 1997.
Number and connectivity: Patton and McNaughton,
1995.
Biochemistry and physiology: Patton and McNaughton,

Type: Interneurons, inhibitory (GABA)
Number: 10,000
Location (Dentate Gyrus): soma and axon in granule layer, dendrites
in molecular layer and hilus.
Explicit morphological data: Southampton archive (cells 250, 256).
Notes: Basket cells are themselves polymorphic (pyramidal and
non-pyramidal), but we only model non-pyramidal. Morphology is assumed
very similar to chandelier cells and to bc and
cc of other sub-fields.
Connectivity:
Axonal output (number of cells contacted, with one synapse unless
specified; in parenthesis: number of cells of that type):
14,200 DG gc x2 (1,000,000)
Axo-somatic input:
GABA ?350 SHP on soma and dendrites (climbing)
Dendritic input:
Glu 800 DG gc (1,000,000) on basal dendrites
