The paper shows that exercise preferentially activates dentate granule cells via inputs from the lateral entorhinal cortex, not through dendritic molecular changes.

Exercise increases hippocampal synaptic function through activity-dependent expression of Mtss1L, a BAR protein that promotes dendritic spine formation.

The paper shows that newly integrated granule cells in the hippocampus preferentially receive inputs from the lateral entorhinal cortex, which is important for pattern separation.
