  • Quantifications of synaptic properties were made on responses to A- and C-fiber intensity stimuli (200 μs and 20 μA, and 200 μs and 200 μA, respectively). Values are means ± SEM. Asterisks mark significant differences with control (*p < 0.05;

  • **p < 0.01;

  • ***p < 0.001, Mann–Whitney test or Fisher exact test). n, Number of observations; RMP, resting membrane potential; Rin, input resistance; AP-A, action potential amplitude; AP-T, action potential threshold.
