|
behavior/neurological
|
• following exposure to mechanical stimuli, mice exhibit decreased mean firing rates compared with wild-type mice
• however, mechanical threshold and peak instantaneous frequency are normal
|
|
• mice exhibit decreased cold and heat sensitivity compared with wild-type mice
• mice exhibit a lower cold threshold and a higher heat threshold compared with wild-type mice
• peak instant frequency is decreased under heat conditions compared to in wild-type mice
• in mice subjected to a heat ramp, average firing rate of neurons is decreased compared to in wild-type mice
|
nervous system
|
• in mice subjected to a heat ramp, average firing rate of neurons is decreased compared to in wild-type mice
• patch clamp studies reveal a higher rheobase than in wild-type neurons
• beta-alanine has no effect on firing rate unlike in wild-type neurons

behavior/neurological
N |
• behavioral responses to noxious heat and cold stimuli are normal
|
|
• diphtheria-treated mice exhibit double the threshold to paw withdrawal in response to calibrated von Frey filaments unlike similarly treated wild-type mice
• elevated response threshold following diphtheria treatment persists for at least 31 days
• diphtheria-treated mice exposed to capsaicin do not exhibit any further decrease in mechanosensitivity
|
|
• diphtheria-treated mice exposed to complete Freund's adjuvant exhibit higher mechanical nociception threshold compared to in similarly treated wild-type mice
|
nervous system
|
• treatment with diphtheria toxin results in a greater than 98% ablation of Mrgprd+ cell bodies in the dorsal root ganglion and in central and peripheral fibers

behavior/neurological
N |
• mice exhibit normal sensitivity to mechanical and thermal stimuli
|
nervous system
|
• at P14, GFP+ skin neuron projections are reduced and punctate unlike in control Mrgprdtm1Mjz Rettm1Ddg homozygotes
• however, central axonal projections in the thoracic spinal cord exhibit normal lamina specific innervation of peptidergic and nonpectidergic projections
