Cover legend: Putative pro-epileptic hilar basal dendrites of hippocampal dentate granule cells are a common feature of the epileptic brain. This is a confocal maximum projection image (60 μm) of the dentate hilus from a Gli1-CreERT2 X GFP-reporter mouse treated with pilocarpine, which induces status epilepticus and the subsequent generation of spontaneous seizures. A depth filter was used to pseudocolor the cells. Note the seemingly normal dendritic morphology of these ectopically located processes. For more information, see Hester and Danzer (pages 8926–8936).
