There are three relay of neuronal information in Hippocampus which is 
that once information goes into hippocampus, it will travel through 
the synapses in DG, CA3 and CA1 of hippocampus to get out. We know that 
hippocampus is very important for some type of learning and memory and the 
synaptic plasticity is frequently used as a best cellular model of learning 
and memory. So, I am wondering what the function of the trisynaptic curcuit 
is.
