Figure 7. Contrasting dynamics of DVS, PEMH and rebound excitation in Ah- and C-type VGN.

Figure 7

A) In a small cohort of female rats a subset of VGN were identified as myelinated Ah-type (n = 5). B) These cells exhibited all the functional characteristics of an Ih current as observed in myelinated A-type VGN in particular a prominent DVS, PEMH and spontaneous discharge following release of a hyperpolarizing current step. C and D) In contrast, VGN identified as C-type (n = 22) were far less excitable and exhibited none of the functional characteristics of an Ih current.
