text: At the encounter with a novel environment, contextual memory formation is
greatly enhanced, accompanied with increased arousal and active exploration. Although
this phenomenon has been widely observed in animal and human daily life, how the
novelty in the environment is detected and contributes to contextual memory formation
has lately started to be unveiled. The hippocampus has been studied for many decades
for its largely known roles in encoding spatial memory, and a growing body of
evidence indicates a differential involvement of dorsal and ventral hippocampal
divisions in novelty detection. In this brief review article, we discuss the recent
findings of the role of mossy cells in the ventral hippocampal moiety in novelty
detection and put them in perspective with other novelty-related pathways in the
hippocampus. We propose a mechanism for novelty-driven memory acquisition in the
dentate gyrus by the direct projection of ventral mossy cells to dorsal dentate
granule cells. By this projection, the ventral hippocampus sends novelty signals
to the dorsal hippocampus, opening a gate for memory encoding in dentate granule
cells based on information coming from the entorhinal cortex. We conclude that,
contrary to the presently accepted functional independence, the dorsal and ventral
hippocampi cooperate to link the novelty and contextual information, and this
dorso-ventral interaction is crucial for the novelty-dependent memory formation.
