Membrane capacitance is increased in hilar interneurons from epileptic mice. A: representative current responses to a 5-mV voltage step in single SOM-EGFP hilar neurons in a control mouse (black) and an epileptic mouse (gray). Traces are averages of 20 sweeps low-pass filtered at 30 kHz. Dashed line indicates steady-state current during voltage step. See methods for derivation of capacitance measure. B: summary graph of capacitance. Number of cells indicated at bottom of bars. **P < 0.01, 2-sample t-test. Number of mice: 17 control, 7 epileptic.
