N- and L-Type Voltage-Dependent Ca2+ Channels Contribute to the Generation of After-Discharges in the Spinal Ventral Root After Cessation of Noxious Mechanical Stimulation

Voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (VDCCs) play a crucial role in the spinal pain transduction. We previously reported that nociceptive mechanical stimuli to the rat hindpaw evoked two types of ventral root discharges that increased during stimulation (during-discharges) and after cessation of stimulat...
