K+ channel regulation of multicompartmental signal integration.
Determining how neurons integrate different streams of information is critical to understanding circuit computational functions. In this issue of Neuron, Harnett et al. (2013) show that voltage-gated K+ channels control multiple layers of dendritic integration in layer 5 pyramidal neurons.
