Dynamic memory in rodent C-fibres and its impact on spinal nociceptive processing.

C-fibre nociceptors display low-level spontaneous firing in the context of tissue injury. Microneurography studies have demonstrated that such low frequency firing can dynamically regulate the activity-dependent slowing (ADS) or temporal pain signal relay of C-fibre nociceptors, thus providing a memory trace of prior a...
