Axotomy increases the excitability of dorsal root ganglion cells with unmyelinated axons.
Axotomy increases the excitability of dorsal root ganglion cells with unmyelinated axons. J. Neurophysiol. 78: 2790-2794, 1997. To better understand the neuronal mechanism of neuropathic pain, the effect of axotomy on the excitability of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells with unmyelinated axons (C cells) was investigated. Whole cell patch-clamp recordings were performed on intact DRG cells with ...
متن کاملThe Neuroprotective Effect of Nepeta menthoides on Axotomized Dorsal Root Ganglion Sensory Neurons in Neonate Rats
Background and Objective: Sensory neurons have critical role in improvement of functional outcome of any neuroprotective strategy. The herbal medicine Nepeta menthoides has been reported to have anti-apoptotic effect on axotomized spinal motoneurons. In the present study, the putative neuroprotective effect of Nepeta menthoides on the axotomized dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons in neonate r...
متن کاملA conditioning lesion of the peripheral axons of dorsal root ganglion cells accelerates regeneration of only their peripheral axons.
Axotomy of the peripheral axon of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells is known to result in chromatolysis and changes in protein synthesis in DRG cells. We investigated whether a stimulus produced by peripheral branch axotomy would affect the regenerative properties of both the central and peripheral axon of the DRG cell equally. To examine this question, a conditioning crush lesion was made dista...

متن کاملChanges in Na(+) channel currents of rat dorsal root ganglion neurons following axotomy and axotomy-induced autotomy.
Section of rat sciatic nerve (axotomy) increases the excitability of neurons in the L(4)-L(5) dorsal root ganglia (DRG). These changes are more pronounced in animals that exhibit a self-mutilatory behavior known as autotomy. We used whole cell recording to examine changes in the tetrodotoxin-sensitive (TTX-S) and the tetrodotoxin-resistant (TTX-R) components of sodium channel currents (I(Na)) t...
