    Modulation of human dorsal root ganglion neuron excitability by Nav1.7 inhibition

    Akie Fujita, Sooyeon Jo ... Bruce P Bean
    Inhibition of Nav1.7 sodium channels in human dorsal root ganglion neurons had larger effects to reduce threshold and upstroke velocity of action potentials compared to Nav1.8 inhibition but smaller effects to reduce repetitive firing of action potentials.
