How do HCN channels' opposite effects on cellular vs network excitability reconcile contradictory seizure outcomes?

OPEN

The abstract mentions that HCN channels have well-known opposite effects on cellular excitability versus network function, which may explain contradictory results. However, the specific mechanisms underlying these opposing effects in seizure generation remain unclear. Gap type: unexplained_observation Source paper: HCN channels and absence seizures. (2023, Neurobiol Dis, PMID:37001612)
