[HTML][HTML] Control of somatic membrane potential in nociceptive neurons and its implications for peripheral nociceptive transmission

X Du, H Hao, S Gigout, D Huang, Y Yang, L Li, C Wang… - PAIN®, 2014 - Elsevier
Peripheral sensory ganglia contain somata of afferent fibres conveying somatosensory
inputs to the central nervous system. Growing evidence suggests that the
somatic/perisomatic region of sensory neurons can influence peripheral sensory
transmission. Control of resting membrane potential (E rest) is an important mechanism
regulating excitability, but surprisingly little is known about how E rest is regulated in sensory
neuron somata or how changes in somatic/perisomatic E rest affect peripheral sensory …
