The stratum compactum is the comparatively deeper, more compacted and more cohesive part of the stratum corneum. [6] The corneocytes of the stratum disjunctum are larger, more rigid and more hydrophobic than those of the stratum compactum. [7] Research on osmotic permeability suggests the stratum compactum consists of two layers. The stratum ...
The mossy fiber pathway ends in the stratum lucidum. The perforant path passes through the stratum lacunosum and ends in the stratum moleculare. There are also inputs from the medial septum and from the diagonal band of Broca which terminate in the stratum radiatum, along with commisural connections from the other side of the hippocampus.
The lipids ultimately form the lamellar lipid bilayer that surrounds corneocytes and also contributes to the permeability barrier homeostasis of the stratum corneum. [12] The homeostasis function is regulated by the calcium gradient in the epidermis. [17] Usually the calcium level is very low in stratum corneum, but high in stratum granulosum.
Stratum lacunosum (str. lac.) is a thin stratum that too contains Schaffer collateral fibers, but it also contains perforant path fibers from the superficial layers of entorhinal cortex. Due to its small size, it is often grouped together with stratum moleculare into a single stratum called stratum lacunosum-moleculare (str. l-m.).
The stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the epidermis. [18] [19] [20] It is composed of terminally differentiated and enucleated corneocytes that reside within a lipid matrix, like "bricks and mortar." Together with cholesterol and free fatty acids, ceramides form the lipid mortar, a water-impermeable barrier that prevents evaporative ...

These proteins constitute the extracellular component of corneodesmosomes, intercellular cohesive structures which link the intermediate filaments of adjacent cells in the stratum corneum. Proteolysis of corneodesmosomes is required for desquamation , the shedding of corneocytes from the outer layer of the epidermis.
The dentate gyrus (DG) is one of the subfields of the hippocampus, in the hippocampal formation.The hippocampal formation is located in the temporal lobe of the brain, and includes the hippocampus (including CA1 to CA4) subfields, and other subfields including the dentate gyrus, subiculum, and presubiculum.
