  • 2c), but both afferent and efferent outgrowth is disorganized to outer hair cells in Brn3c null mutants (Fig.

  • We suggest that limited expression of neurotrophins in the immature target leads to retention of primary neurons and their afferent fibers in newborn and early postnatal Brn3c null mice.

  • Immature hair cells and limited expression of neurotrophins rescue afferent projection until P8

  • Some DRG neurons that were immunostained for MIF also co-contained the neurotransmitter substance P. Our findings of MIF in DRG neurons confirm earlier observations in the embryonic mouse [ 19 ] . However, our findings of MIF protein in afferent neurons in the DRG that also contain substance P represent a novel finding in the adult rat.

  • Nociceptors are specialized primary afferent neurons and the first cells in the series of neurons that lead to the sensation of pain [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ] . The receptors in these cells can be activated by different noxious chemical or physical stimuli [ 9 10 11 ] . The essential functions of nociceptors include the transduction of noxious stimuli into depolarizations that trigger action potentials, conduction of action potentials from peripheral sensory sites to synapses in the central nervous system, and conversion of action potentials into neurotransmitter release at presynaptic terminals, all of which depend on ion channels [ 6 12 13 14 15 16 ] . Recent expression cloning has led to the identification of the first pain sensory receptor.
