nervous system
• small dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons do not display novel and nociceptive currents with inward current density at -60 mV of only -0.3 +/- 0.1 pA/pF
• DRG neurons are no longer capable to generate plateau depolarization in response to brief above threshold depolarizing currents, no longer display intrinsic bursting behavior, and do not display bistable behavior
• neurons fail to show increased excitability in response to exposure to an inflammatory soup
