parabrachial neurons (SPNs) without affecting their resting potential or membrane
resistance.• In one-third of SPNs, high-threshold dorsal root stimulation elicited persistent AP
firing which was never observed in cells from naïve animals.• 38% of SPNs from SNI rats
showed spontaneous persistent AP firing.• After SNI low-and high-output SPNs were no
longer nociceptive-specific as part of them responded with APs to low-threshold stimulation.• …
