Postnatal development of mossy cells in the human dentate gyrus: A light microscopic Golgi study

Mossy cells in the human dentate gyrus of adults and children of different ages were impregnated using the rapid‐Golgi method. In every case the cause of death was verified by autopsy and the brains were used when neither the history of the patient nor autopsy revealed brainrelated disease.
