    Notes

    DG (i)3300 COM-MOPP [1024]

    Related types: DG (i)3000 MOPP (v1.0 active)
    DG (i)3300p-Sub_100 Wide-arbor Neurogliaform (v2.0 active)
    DG (i)3200 MLC (v2.0 active unapproved)
    DG (i)3000 IS MOPP (v2.0 on-hold unapproved)
    DG (i)3300 IS COM-MOPP (v2.0 on-hold unapproved)

    Notes: This is a merger proposal between the cell of Hosp (v2.0 on-hold) with the cell from Szabo (new). These proposed cells have axons and dendrites in DG:SMi, which distinguishes them from the MOPP and IS MOPP cells. These proposed cells are not projecting, which distinguishes them from Wide-arbor Neurogliaform cells. These proposed cells have axons in DG:SMi, which distinguishes them from the 3200 cells.

    I am currently reviewing the DG COM-MOPP proposed v2.0 cell. Iā??m reviewing the DG MOPP and IS MOPP cells to compare and have a few questions: How do we define the threshold for presence of A/D in either SMo or SMi? Is this primarily based in the pertinent figure description provided by the author, our trained eye, an algorithm to quantify presence based on pixel counting, within a preferred hierarchy of the features I just mentioned, or something entirely different? I think this would really help me with making a determination here, as I do notice that the active v1.0 DG MOPP cells do have at least some axonal presence within SMi. - JDK 08/24/2021

    Please read through the attached document (http://www.hippocampome.org/php/Help_Morphological_Interpretations_Full.php) first and then see if you still have any questions. - DWW 08/24/2021

    After further review, I approve of the merger proposal of the Hosp and Szabo cells, and therefore the approval of the proposed COM-MOPP neuron type for v2.0. - JDK 08/24/2021

    I have a few questions before I can consider approval. I think that the first cell is a 3310, while the second one is clearly 3300 - I guess we never made a fuss about dendrites in the principal layer, but this should be noted as opposed to glossed over?! I donā??t see JDK's comments, does it mean he hasn't approved it yet? And what is the status of and relationship with the VIP+ COM-MOPP mentioned at the end of the packet? - GAA 01/19/2022

    I do not know why JDK's comments were not included, but JDK's notes have now been added to the packet notes.
    As to the first cellā??s 3320 interpretation, Jeffrey and I have derived and refined the principal cell layer invoked rule, which should be applied in this instance:
    Principal cell layer invoked rule: record axons in the PCL when boutons are present or when axons are branching and ostensibly targeting the PCL and not just passing through, but discount dendrites.
    - DWW 01/21/2022

    Thanks for the update. I guess the Q on the status of and relationship with the VIP+ COM-MOPP mentioned at the end of the packet is still pending? - GAA 01/21/2022

    There had been a proposal to merge the two cells in Fig. 5 of Hajos et al., 1996, but it was ultimately resolved to keep them separate as IS MOPP and IS COM-MOPP. However, it was also resolved that they should both be considered interneuron specific. Both of these summaries made it into the notes of the two embedded packets. - DWW 01/21/2022

    Yes ā?? that makes sense. Happy to approve then! - GAA 01/22/2022
