title: Dendritic h channelopathy in epileptogenesis.
abstract: Recent work has suggested a link between h channels and epilepsy. In this issue of Neuron, Shah et al. demonstrate that a robust, postseizure decrease in h channels during a critical phase of epileptogenesis mechanistically underlies dendritic hyperexcitability in entorhinal-hippocampal pyramidal cells.
