This cell type is a major source of perforant pathway projections from entorhinal cortex layer II to the dentate gyrus of the hippocampal formation. It displays electrophysiological properties including a prominent hyperpolarisation-activated inward current, voltage sag, and theta-frequency membrane resonance.
